Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.

Life is a whole, and good and ill must be accepted together.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right.

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.
