Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.
Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one.
Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which though doest not.
Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.
The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies.
