Let No One Trust So Entirely To

To Relinquish A Present Good Through Apprehension Of A Future Evil Is In Most Instances Unwise ... From A Fear Which May Afterwards Turn Out Groundless, You Lost The Good That Lay Within Your Grasp.

Experience Has Always Shown, And Reason Also, That Affairs Which Depend On Many Seldom Succeed.

Be Careful How You Do One Man A Pleasure Which Must Needs Occasion Equal Displeasure In Another. For He Who Is Thus Slighted Will Not Forget, But Will Think The Offence To Himself The Greater In That Another Profits By It; While He Who Receives The Pleasure Will Either Not Remember It, Or Will Consider The Favour Done Him Less Than It Really Was.

The Return We Reap From Generous Actions Is Not Always Evident.

Since There Is Nothing So Well Worth Having As Friends, Never Lose A Chance To Make Them.
