Affairs That Depend On Many Rarely Succeed.

Be Careful How You Do One Man A Pleasure Which Must Needs Occasion Equal Displeasure In Another. For He Who Is Thus Slighted Will Not Forget, But Will Think The Offence To Himself The Greater In That Another Profits By It; While He Who Receives The Pleasure Will Either Not Remember It, Or Will Consider The Favour Done Him Less Than It Really Was.

The Return We Reap From Generous Actions Is Not Always Evident.

Since There Is Nothing So Well Worth Having As Friends, Never Lose A Chance To Make Them.

As It Is Our Nature To Be More Moved By Hope Than Fear, The Example Of One We See Abundantly Rewarded Cheers And Encourages Us Far More Than The Sight Of Many Who Have Not Been Well Treated Disquiets Us.

He Is Less Likely To Be Mistaken Who Looks Forward To A Change In The Affairs Of The World Than He Who Regards Them As Firm And Stable.
