Endurance is the free companion of Sorrow, and Patience her master. +
Esteem that to be eminently good, which, when communicated to another, will be increased to yourself. +
Even a good man sees evil days, as long as his good deeds have not ripened; but when they have ripened, then does the good man see happy days. +
Even in a forest hermitage, sin prevails over the unholy; the restraint of the senses in one's own house, this is asceticism. +
Every man contains within himself the potentiality of immortality, equilibrated by the power of choice. +
Every man thinks his own wisdom faultless, and every mother her own child beautiful. +
Every time the believer pronounces the word OM, he renews the allegiance to the divine potentiality enshrined within the Soul. +
Every tree hath its shadow, every sorrow its joy. +
Excuse is better than disputation; delay is better than rashness; unwillingness of strife is better than eagerness in seeking it. +
Expel avarice from your heart, so shall you loosen the chains from off your neck. +
Extensive knowledge and science, well-regulated discipline and well-spoken speech, this is the greatest blessing. +
Fallen flowers do not return to their stems, nor departed friends to their houses. +
False friendship is like a parasitic plant, it kills the tree it embraces. +
Fear is the slave of Pain, and Rebellion her captive. +
Fear of judgment will deter from wrong, but trifling with it leads to destruction. +
Flattery is a false coin which circulates only because of our vanity. +
Foolish pride is an incurable malady; a bad wife is a chronic disease; and a wrathful disposition is a life-long burden. +
Four things increase by use: health, wealth, perseverance, and credulity. +
Good men vary. Some are like cocoa-nuts, full of sweet milk; others, like the jujube, externally pleasing. +
Good people shine from afar like the snowy mountains; bad people are not seen, like arrows shot at night. +
