He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

The man who seeks to please God is the man who people are pleased with. The man who seeks to please others won't satisfy anyone.

He who loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, or an effectual comforter.

Do not follow vain desires; for verily he who prospers is preserved from lust, greed and anger.

Among absent lovers, ardor always fares better.

Ardor, n. The quality that distinguishes love without knowledge.

He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana.

He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance.
