Your supremacy over others is in proportion to the extent of your knowledge and wisdom.

If you want to remove evil from the minds of others, then first give up evil intentions yourself.

One ill-gotten piece of stone in a house is a guarantee for its ruin.

The best act is that which you must force yourself to do it.
