Some Sayings From the Books:

1. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.

2. Earnest among the thoughtless, awake among the sleepers, the wise man advances like a racer, leaving behind the hack.

3. Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.

4. It is better to live alone, there is no companionship with a fool; let a man walk alone, let him commit no sin, with few wishes, like an elephant in the forest.
