He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.

I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle.

If poverty were a man, I would have slain him.

Let me alone, and go in search of someone else.

No one has ever suffered from his people as I have.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
