The more sincerely a man speaks, the more will he be respected.

Do not undervalue a fine idea because it comes from an unimportant person.

Consider not who speaks, but what is said.

If you are wished and saluted then return the wish in the most appropriate manner. If you are favoured then repay the obligation manifold; but he will always excell in merit who takes the initiative.

The stupidest man is the one who beleives himself as the best.

Act only after reflexion, and all your affairs will work out well.

A man's reflexion is the mirror that shows him his good and bad deeds.

Of a man's good qualities two are eminent - intelligence and speech. By the first he profits himself, and by the second he makes others to profits.

The intelligent man is whoever knows how to be happier today than yesterday.

A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks and then thinks.
