"A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward. "
"Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good try to use ordinary situations. "
"Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower. "
"Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life. "
"Only actions give life strength only moderation gives it a charm. "
