Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.

You must learn from the mistakes of others.
You can’t possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.

Change is the law of life.

Of coming and going, of good and evil.

Preserve a calm and peaceful spirit.
Radiant with mercy, compassion, happiness.

Lead people by teaching the right way.
Avoid pride and boasting.
Do what you have spoken.
And say what you have done.
