Know Or Listen To Those Who Know.

The Envious Die Not Once, But As Oft As The Envied Win Applause.

Some Are Satisfied To Stand Politely Before The Portals Of Fortune And To Await Her Bidding; Better Those Who Push Forward, Who Employ Their Enterprise, Who On The Wings Of Their Worth And Valor Seek To Embrace Luck, And To Effectively Gain Her Favor.

A Prudent Man Will Think More Important What Fate Has Conceded To Him, Than What It Has Denied.

Tis By No Means The Least Of Life's Rules: To Let Things Alone.

Know How To Choose Well. Most Of Life Depends Thereon. It Needs Good Taste And Correct Judgment, For Which Neither Intellect Nor Study Suffices.
