The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.
He that gives should never remember, he that receives should never forget.
He who receives a benefit should never forget it; he who bestow should never remember it.
The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.
