The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.

What is too heavy for the strong and what place is too distant for those who put forth effort?

By going to the den of a lion pearls from the head of an elephant may be obtained; but by visiting the hole of a jackal nothing but the tail of a calf or a bit of the hide of an ass may found.

Learn one thing from a lion; one from a crane; four a cock; five from a crow; six from a dog; and three from an ass.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

It's an excellent effort to get this far,
