  • Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.

  • True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.

  • True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune to keep him is a blessing.

  • Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

  • Know or listen to those who know.
