So long as a man is angry he cannot be in the right

In the midst of great joy do not promise to give a man anything; in the midst of great anger do not answer a man's letter

Anyone who angers you conquers you

Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.

A horse cannot gain weight if not fed with extra fodder during the night; a man cannot become wealthy without earnings apart from his regular salaries.

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
