Silence Is One Of The Great Arts

The Forehead Is The Gate Of The Mind.

Let Every Man Practise The Trade Which He Best Understands.

That Man Is Guilty Of Impertinence Who Considers Not The Circumstances Of Time, Or Engrosses The Conversation, Or Makes Himself The Subject Of His Discourse, Or Pays No Regard To The Company He Is In.

Lay Down This Rule Of Friendship: Neither Ask Nor Consent To Do What Is Wrong. The Plea, 'for Friendship's Sake,' Is A Discreditable One, And Should Not Be Admitted For A Moment. We Should Ask From Friends And Do For Friends Only What Is Good.

There Is No Praise In Being Upright, Where No One Can, Or Tries To Corrupt You.
