To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
