The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. Too aim is not enough, you must hit! To attract good fortune, spend a new penny on an old friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon. Time, which strengthens friendship, weakens love. Those who wish to sing always find a song. Those who do not read are no better off than those who cannot. They are not all friends who laugh with you. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. There is no beauty but the beauty of action. There is honor among thieves. |
