If You Are Wise, Live As You

One Who Was Abhorred By All In Prosperity Is Adored By All In Adversity.

Keep To Yourself The Final Touches Of Your Art.

Keep Expectation Alive. Keep Stirring It Up. Let Much Promise More, And Great Deeds Herald Greater.

Little Said Is Soon Amended. There Is Always Time To Add A Word, Never To Withdraw One.

Attain And Maintain A Reputation, For It Is The Usufruct Of Fame. A Stiff Climb, For It Is The Issue Of Excellence, As Rare As Mediocrity Is Common.
