The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.

To refrain from evil and from strong drink and to be always, steadfast in virtue; this is the good luck.

Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.

As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world

To enjoy the good health, to bring the truth happiness, to care of his own family, to bring the peace to all. Firstly, one must discipline and control his own mind. if he can do so, the enlightenment, wisdom and virtue will go to him naturally.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
