The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man with goodness, the miser with generosity and the liar with truth.

Conquer a man who never gives by gifts; Subdue untruthful men by truthfulness; Vanquish an angry man by gentleness; And overcome the evil man by goodness

That in man wich cannot be domesticated is not his evil but his goodness.

The generous man enriches himself by giving; the miser hoards himself poor

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison

The evil done by men of goodwill is the worst of all ... We have done terrible things, for the best of reasons, and that makes it worse.
