Admiration Is The Basis Of Ignorance.

Do Pleasant Things Yourself, But Unpleasant Things Through Others.

All Victories Breed, And That Over Your Superior Is Foolish Or Fatal.

Attain And Maintain A Reputation, For It Is The Usufruct Of Fame. A Stiff Climb, For It Is The Issue Of Excellence, As Rare As Mediocrity Is Common.

Keep Expectation Alive. Keep Stirring It Up. Let Much Promise More, And Great Deeds Herald Greater.

Always Leave Something To Wish For; Otherwise You Will Be Miserable From Your Very Happiness.
