If you would help another man, you must do so in minute particulars.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

The deed is everything, the glory naught.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Without virtue, both riches and honor, to me, seem like the passing cloud.

The friend of all humanity is no friend to me.
