“Profit could warm his coin purse, but never his back.”

“If I got angry at every little thing, my body wouldn't be able to hold it all.”

“A lie that can't be disproven is no different from the truth.”

“In life, it's better to assume that bad things will happen to you rather than good things. You can't look at someone else's success and assume that it will happen to you. There are a lot of people in the world, so it makes sense that one or two of them are going to be fortunate. But there's only one of you. Assuming that good fortune will come to you is no different than pointing a finger at a random person and predicting the same for them. But do you think that prediction would come true?”

“While it may be that ignorance is a sin, it's impossible to know everything.”

“The important thing is to think of something nobody else is thinking of. "Ignorance is a sin" is not about knowledge - it's about wisdom.”

“Stories are better when they have an ending, are they not?”

“There are many different ways to solve a problem. But once it's solved, we must live our lives. Which means we should choose not the simplest solution, but the one that will allow us to feel the most at peace once it's done.”

“He, who knows how to do something, is the servant of he, who knows why that thing must be done.”

“The heart becomes scratched and dented and repaired over time, and with one glance, you'd be able to tell your own from others.”

“A traveler does not leave regret behind in a village, but good memories.”

“We do not live in a fairy-tale world. We cannot simply take revenge on those who have betrayed us and say "the end". We have to live on after this. And taking revenge for betrayal only invites more revenge.”

“We are both merchants, and I'll promise you one thing. We will not laugh until we get the money, and we will not cry until we go bankrupt. And guess what? We are going to laugh.”
