The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor.

Your own safety is at stake when your neighbor's wall is ablaze.

A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbor's.

The more a man denies himself, the more shall he obtain from God

It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, so he be man of merit

Mediocrity is not allowed to poets, either by the gods or man
