When to give opinion

Thorough investigation should always precede the forming and offering of opinions.

Death

Everyone who sees others die thinks that this fate is only destined for others, and not for him or her.

Right Criticism

The wise criticize without quarrelling.

Wonder of wonders

 Man sees the phenomena of the universe and depends upon it for livelihood, yet he fails to wonder at its perfection.

Success follows failure

Failure in one field is no reason to lose hope: there is always another field awaiting one, in which the flower of one’s destiny can flourish and thrive.

Wisdom

 The wise cast all irrelevant issues and disputes to one side in their determination to succeed.

Be humble

Humility is the greatest quality that man can have, and arrogance is undoubtedly the worst.

Man and rest of the universe

In a world where everything works for the benefit of the rest of creation, man sows the seeds of destruction both for himself and for others.

Become dear to God

 Dearest to God is one with the best character.

Test of morality

A principled person treats the weak with the same courtesy and deference as he does the strong.
