If You Wish To Be Good, First

No Matter What Happens, It Is Within My Power To Turn It To My Advantage.

We Have Two Ears And One Mouth So That We Can Listen Twice As Much As We Speak.

We Should Do Everything Both Cautiously And Confidently At The Same Time.

If You Would Be Good, First Believe That You Are Bad.

We Must Be Afraid Of Neither Poverty Nor Exile Nor Imprisonment; Of Fear Itself Only Should We Be Afraid.
