Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.

A poor man is like a foreigner in his own country.

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.

People are like waves of the ocean, some cover you with tides of refreshment, whilst others drown you in floods of turmoil

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you die tomorrow
