A Man Living Without Conflicts, As If

The Book Salesman Should Be Honored Because He Brings To Our Attention, As A Rule, The Very Books We Need Most And Neglect Most.

A Man Who Has Committed A Mistake And Does Not Correct It Is Committing Another Mistake.

The Superior Man Is Easy To Serve, But Difficult To Please ... The Inferior Man Is Difficult To Serve, But Easy To Please.

On Matters Beyond His Ken A Gentleman Speaks With Caution. If Names Are Not Right, Words Are Misused. When Words Are Misused, Affairs Go Wrong. When Affairs Go Wrong, Courtesy And Music Droop, Law And Justice Fail. And When Law And Justice Fail Them, A People Can Move Neither Hand Nor Foot. So A Gentleman Must Be Ready To Put Names In Speech, To Put Words Into Deeds. A Gentleman Is Nowise Careless Of Words.

The Superior Man Makes The Difficulty To Be Overcome His First Interest; Success Only Comes Later.
