It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything.

The ideal man bears the accidents of life With dignity and grace, the best of circumstances.

A good man is warm and respectful towards the waiter or people of supposedly lower financial and social condition.

A gentleman treats his fellow man with fairness, always giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Let the noble man Be generous and good, Tirelessly achieving What is just and useful: Let him be a model For those beings whom he surmises.

To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.

So the wise man will develop virtue, if he may, in the midst of wealth, or, if not, in poverty; if possible, in his own country—if not, in exile; if possible, as a commander—if not, as a common soldier; if possible, in sound health—if not, enfeebled. Whatever fortune he finds, he will accomplish therefrom something noteworthy.

The good man does good merely by living.

The wise man does not defy necessity.

Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.

The good man is the friend of all living things.

A Wise man knows that much of what he says and does is commonplace and trivial. His thoughts are not all solemn and sacred in his own eyes. He is able to laugh at himself and is not offended when others make him a subject whereon to exercise their wit.

The reward of the good man is to be allowed to worship in truth.

If any one hearken with understanding to these sayings of mine many a deed worthy of a good man shall he perform and many a foolish deed be spared.
