If The People Be Led By Laws, And Uniformity Sought To Be Given Them By Punishments, They Will Try To Avoid The Punishment, But Have No Sense Of Shame.

To Acknowledge Our Faults When We Are Blamed, Is Modesty; To Discover Them To One's Friends In Ingenuousness, Is Confidence; But To Preach Them To All The World, If One Does Not Take Care, Is Pride.

When A Person Should Be Spoken With, And You Don't Speak With Them, You Lose Them. When A Person Shouldn't Be Spoken With And You Speak To Them, You Waste Your Breath. The Wise Do Not Lose People, Nor Do They Waste Their Breath.
