00:00 It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

00:07 Boastful speeches are the first sign of weakness,

00:15 and those who are capable of great things keep their mouths shut.

00:20 The life of the dead is set in the memory of the living.

00:28 If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

00:37 With confidence, you have won even before you have started.

00:42 Your enemies can kill you, but only your friends can hurt you.

00:53 If we are not ashamed to think about it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

00:59 Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

01:08 The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

01:19 I prefer the most unfair peace to the most righteous war.

01:24 In times of war, the law falls silent.

01:31 Kindness is stronger than fear.

01:37 The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.

01:46 While there's life, there's hope.

01:52 Endless money forms the sinews of war.

01:59 The greatest victory is victory over yourself.

02:06 A friend is a second self.

02:12 I am never as busy as during my leisure hours.

02:20 Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

02:27 The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.

02:39 We must not say every mistake is a foolish one.

02:43 Law applied to its extreme is the greatest injustice.

02:51 Books, our unfailing companions.

02:58 Spice up your speech with humor.

03:07 A man of faith is also full of courage.

03:11 The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.

03:22 Freedom is participation in power.

03:29 The reward of friendship is friendship itself.

03:37 You can't love either the one you're afraid of or the one who's afraid of you.

03:45 Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.

03:55 Impunity is the greatest encouragement of crime.

04:05 In the world, there is nothing better and more pleasant than friendship.

04:11 To exclude friendship from life is the same as to deprive the world of sunlight.

04:22 Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial either.

04:34 The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

04:39 Nothing stands out so conspicuously or remains so firmly fixed in the memory as something which you have blundered.

04:52 We are bound by the law so that we may be free.

05:02 He who has money cannot be punished.

05:06 Order is most helpful for clear assimilation.

05:13 In all matters, before beginning, diligent preparation should be made.

05:25 Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

05:33 It is our own evil thoughts which make us.

05:40 Freedom will bite back more fiercely when suspended than when she remains undisturbed.

05:53 To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare oneself to die.

05:59 A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

06:07 Old age, the crown of life, our play's last act.

06:19 No one can give you better advice than yourself.

06:24 Good and evil cannot be treated the same way.

06:31 Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

06:38 Ability without honor is useless.

06:47 To teach is a necessity. To please is sweetness. To persuade is a victory.

06:56 Even those philosophers who wrote treaties against fame did not forget to put their name in the title of their book.

07:08 Wisdom is the only thing which can banish sorrow from the breast.

07:17 It is a great thing to know your vices.

07:22 Thrift is an important source of wealth.

07:29 Nature herself has imprinted on the minds of all the ideas of God.

07:41 It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own.

07:49 He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.

07:58 Happiness should be asked from God. Wisdom should be acquired by yourself.

08:09 What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes?

08:16 Stupidity tends to see other people's vices and forget about their own.

08:26 We need to eat and drink enough so that our strength is restored and not suppressed.

08:37 A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.

08:46 To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.

08:59 If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

09:06 True law is right reason in agreement with nature.

09:13 It is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting.

09:18 It summons to duty by its commands and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions.

09:27 Be rather than seem.

09:32 Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joys and dividing our grief.

09:47 The one to whom the service is rendered should remember about it and the one who rendered it should not remember about it.

09:58 In fears and danger we are more inclined to believe in miracles.

10:09 The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.

10:21 The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.

10:32 A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.

10:42 A room without books is like a body without a soul.

10:50 Knowledge which is divorced from justice may be called cunning rather than wisdom.

11:00 Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.

11:08 The love you give in life keeps people alive beyond their time.

11:16 Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.

11:24 Not being greedy is already wealth, not being wasteful is income.

11:32 History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time.

11:39 It illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.

11:53 For books are more than books.

11:57 They are the life, the very heart and core of ages past,

12:02 the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.

12:12 The greatest virtue of a speaker is not only to say what is necessary, but also not to say what is not necessary.

12:22 Read at every weight, read at all hours, read within leisure, read in times of labor, read as one goes in, read as one goes out.

12:39 The task of the educated mind is simply put, read to lead.

12:46 If fate does not give you something, it means that it protects you from something.

12:55 There are no snares more dangerous than those which lurk under the guise of duty or the name of a relationship.

13:07 Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

13:20 The more honest men are, the less he suspects others of dishonesty.

13:28 A low soul always presupposes the lowest motives for noble deeds.

13:36 To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to always remain a child.

13:46 For what is the worth of human life unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

13:56 [Music]
