•Man must be strong enough to know when he is weak, brave enough to encounter fear, dignified and having moral courage in honest defeat, humble and gentle in victory.
•When you know yourselves that these ideas are unprofitable, liable to censure, condemned by the wise, and if they are being adopted and put into effect, they would lead to harm and suffering, then you should abandon them….
When you know yourselves that these things are wholesome, blameless, commended by the wise, and if they are begin adopted and put into effect, they would lead to welfare and happiness, then you should practice them and abide by them.
•Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others, but let one see one’s own acts, done and undone.
•He who is always observant of others’ faults, and irritable, increases his own defilements. He is far from the destruction of defilements.
•The faults of others are easily seen, but one’s own is difficult to see. One winnows others’ faults like chaff, but hides one’s own as a crafty fowler covers himself.
•People blame others for their silence. They blame those who talk much and those who talk in moderation. There is, therefore, no one in this world who is not blamed.
•There was never, there never will be, nor is there now, anyone who is wholly blamed or wholly praised.
•Admitting your own weaknesses is having the intellectual to succeed.
•The noble ones swerve not from the right path, let happen what may and no longer crave after worldly joys. The wise ones remain calm and constant in mind, alike in joy and in sorrow.
•To waste a man’s existence in worry about the future, in grieving over the past, in idleness or in heedlessness, is to show his lack of fitness for the noble place that he holds as the earthly creatures.
•Certain creatures cannot see in the daylight whilst others are blind at night, but a man, who is driven to intense hated, does not observe anything, either by day or night.
