Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

If you don't want anyone to know it, don't do it

He who praises me on all occasions is a fool who despises me or a knave who wishes to cheat me

Hatred corrodes the vessel in which it is stored

Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own

When a finger points to the moon, the imbecile looks at the finger
