A society that does not value its older people denies its roots and endangers its future. Let us strive to enhance their capacity to support themselves for as long as possible and, when they cannot do so anymore, to care for them.

Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

Since the dawn of history, mankind has honoured and respected brave and honest people.

Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present.

Be easy and condescending in your deportment to your officers, but not too familiar, lest you subject yourself to a want of respect, which is necessary to support a proper command.
