An Ounce Of Prudence Is Worth A

When Everyone Covets Something, They Are Easily Annoyed By It.

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

He That Communicates His Secret To Another Makes Himself That Other's Slave.

Many Have Had Their Greatness Made For Them By Their Enemies.

Never Lose Your Self-respect, Nor Be Too Familiar With Yourself When You Are Alone. Let Your Integrity Itself Be Your Own Standard Of Rectitude, And Be More Indebted To The Severity Of Your Own Judgment Of Yourself Than To All External Percepts. Desist From Unseemly Conduct, Rather Out Of Respect For Your Own Virtue Than For The Strictures Of External Authority.
