A man is a believer as long as he is virtuous.

Virtue is the key to success.

The most detestable man is he who returns evil for good, and the most praiseworthy, he whose answer to villainy is a generous deed.

The wicked man thinks no good of any one; for how should he imagine that others have what he lacks himself?

The worst man is the one who sees himself as the best.

Men are asleep: they will awake when they die.

Men are like trees; though the water with which they are watered is the same yet the fruits are not alike.

Whoever is not serviceable to his kind is to be counted among the dead.

Each breath of a man is a step nearer to death

Who lives long, will mourn his friends.
