Better Untaught Than Ill-taught.

It Is Often Better To Have A Great Deal Of Harm Happen To One Than A Little; A Great Deal May Rouse You To Remove What A Little Will Only Accustom You To Endure.

Let Your Desire For Truth Transcend All Minor Considerations. Ignorance Is Invariably Confident. The Man Of Knowledge Learns To Realize His Own Needs. Be Honest And Severe In Your Self-appraisal. Learn The Art Of Learning, And You Are Well On The Way To Achievement. True Greatness Is Reflective, Not Assertive.

Every Good Thought You Think Is Contributing Its Share To The Ultimate Result Of Your Life.

Do Not Let Trifles Disturb Your Tranquility Of Mind. . . . Life Is Too Precious To Be Sacrificed For The Nonessential And Transient. . . . Ignore The Inconsequential!

Discreetly Keep Most Of Your Radical Opinions To Yourself. When With People Be A Listener A Large Part Of The Time. Be Considerate In Every Word And Act, And Resist The Tendency To Say Clever Things. The Best Evidence Of Your Culture Is The Tone And Temper Of Your Conversation.
