If You Are Wise, Live As You

There Is No Need To Show Your Ability Before Everyone.

Do Not Be Inaccessible. None Is So Perfect That He Does Not Need At Times The Advice Of Others. He Is An Incorrigible Ass Who Will Never Listen To Any One. Even The Most Surpassing Intellect Should Find A Place For Friendly Counsel. Sovereignty Itself Must Learn To Lean. There Are Some That Are Incorrigible Simply Because They Are Inaccessible: They Fall To Ruin Because None Dares To Extricate Them. The Highest Should Have The Door Open For Friendship; It May Prove The Gate Of Help. A Friend Must Be Free To Advise, And Even To Upbraid, Without Feeling Embarrassed.

It Is More Offensive To Outshine In Dignity Than In Personal Attractions.

Leave Your Luck While Still Winning.

You May Be Obliged To Wage War, But Not To Use Poisoned Arrows.
