Ambition Makes More Trusty Slaves Than Need

It Is As Great A Spite To Be Praised In The Wrong Place, And By A Wrong Person, As Can Be Done To A Noble Nature.

Where It Concerns Himself, Who's Angry At A Slander, Makes It True.

He Who Is Taught Only By Himself Has A Fool For A Master.

Nothing Is More Short-lived Than Pride.

The Two Chief Things That Give A Man Reputation In Counsel, Are The Opinion Of His Honesty, And The Opinion Of His Wisdom; The Authority Of Those Two Will Persuade.
