There Is Nothing So Fleeting As The

If You Attempt Certain Things At The Right Time, They Are Easy To Accomplish - In Fact, They Almost Get Done By Themselves. If You Undertake Them Before The Time Is Right, Not Only Will They Fail, But They Will Often Become Impossible To Accomplish Even When The Time Would Have Been Right.

To Relinquish A Present Good Through Apprehension Of A Future Evil Is In Most Instances Unwise ... From A Fear Which May Afterwards Turn Out Groundless, You Lost The Good That Lay Within Your Grasp.

It Is A Great Matter To Be In Authority Over Others; For Authority, If It Be Rightly Used, Will Make You Feared Beyond Your Actual Resources.

He Who Imitates What Is Evil Always Goes Beyond The Example That Is Set; On The Contrary, He Who Imitates What Is Good Always Falls Short.
