When something an affliction happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.

You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.

Take the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well.
