It Is Better To Advise Than Upbraid,

We Need To Regularly Stop And Take Stock; To Sit Down And Determine Within Ourselves Which Things Are Worth Valuing And Which Things Are Not; Which Risks Are Worth The Cost And Which Are Not. Even The Most Confusing Or Hurtful Aspects Of Life Can Be Made More Tolerable By Clear Seeing And By Choice.

The People Have A Right To The Truth As They Have A Right To Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness.

We Ought To Flee The Friendship Of The Wicked, And The Enmity Of The Good.

First Learn The Meaning Of What You Say, And Then Speak.

Never Depend On The Admiration Of Others For Self-satisfaction. It Is A Fact Of Life That Other People, Even People Who Love You, Will Not Necessarily Agree With Your Ideas, Understand You Always, Or Share Your Enthusiasms.
