Have No Friends Not Equal To Yourself.

Let Mourning Stop When One's Grief Is Fully Expressed.

When Frying Small Fish, Disturb Them Little.

When Abroad, Behaveto Everyone As If Interviewing An Honored Guest; In Directing The People, Act As If You Were Assisting At A Great Sacrafice; Do Not Do To Others As You Would Not Like Done To Yourself: So There Will Be No Murmuring Against You In The Country, And None In The Family; Your Public Life Will Arouse No Ill-will Nor Your Private Life Any Resentment.

It Is Better To Light One Small Candle Of Gratitude Than To Curse The Darkness.

Clever Talk Can Confound The Workings Of Virtue, Just As Small Impatiences Can Confound Great Projects.
