Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

• In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
• For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
• Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.
• A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
• Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
• Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
• True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
• The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.
• Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.
• Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.
