When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
