Think well of people as if all good is in them, and rely on yourself as if there is no good in people. Difficult situations build strong individuals. The ignorant is known by his words, while the wise is known by his silence. Do not seek happiness in life in the same place you lost it. The orphan is not the one whose father has died; the orphan is the one deprived of knowledge and culture. Success does not require feet but requires courage. The animosity of the wise is less harmful than the affection of the ignorant. A person can resist everything except the sorrow he sees in his mother's eyes.
