Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.

Let us unite them together in one supreme power which shall govern us all according to wise laws, protect us and defend all members of the association, repulse common enemies and maintain us in everlasting concord…

Do not race after riches, do not risk your life for success, or you will let slip the heaven within you.

Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.


Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
