He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage

Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
