Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
Good judgment comes from experience and often experience comes from bad judgment.
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
