Hear, See, And Be Silent.

Never Contend With A Man Who Has Nothing To Lose.

Some Are Satisfied To Stand Politely Before The Portals Of Fortune And To Await Her Bidding; Better Those Who Push Forward, Who Employ Their Enterprise, Who On The Wings Of Their Worth And Valor Seek To Embrace Luck, And To Effectively Gain Her Favor.

Fortune Soon Tires Of Carrying Anyone Long On Her Shoulders.

To Keep Is More Important Than To Make Friends.

Know How To Choose Well. Most Of Life Depends Thereon. It Needs Good Taste And Correct Judgment, For Which Neither Intellect Nor Study Suffices.
