If You Did Not Do So For

To Acknowledge Our Faults When We Are Blamed, Is Modesty; To Discover Them To One's Friends In Ingenuousness, Is Confidence; But To Preach Them To All The World, If One Does Not Take Care, Is Pride.

A Gentleman Wishes To Be Slow To Speak And Quick To Act.

He Who Fails To Prepare, Prepares To Fail

Listen Much, Keep Silent When In Doubt, And Always Take Heed Of The Tongue; Thou Wilt Make Few Mistakes. See Much, Beware Of Pitfalls, And Always Give Heed To Thy Walk; Thou Wilt Have Little To Rue. If Thy Words Are Seldom Wrong, Thy Deeds Leave Little To Rue, Pay Will Follow.

To Be Fond Of Learning Is Near To Wisdom; To Practice With Vigor Is Near To Benevolence; And To Be Conscious Of Shame Is Near To Fortitude.
