Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.
If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.
Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
