Life is short. And we do not have long to gladden the hearts of those who walk the way with us. So let us be swift to love. And let us make haste to show kindness.

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

One who wishes to act virtuously, necessarily comes to grief when among so many who are not virtuous.

A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice.
