Only The Supremely Wise And The Ignorant

There Are Three Things Against Which The Wise Man Guards: Lust When Young, Quarrels When Strong, And Covetousness When Old.

A Gentleman Considers What Is Right; The Vulgar Consider What Will Pay.

Conscience Is The Inner Voice Which Warns Us That Someone Might Be Looking. Hear And You Forget, See And You Remember, Do And You Understand.

Sir, In Carrying On Your Government, Why Should You Use Killing At All? Let Your Evinced Desires Be For What Is Good, And The People Will Be Good. The Relation Between Superiors And Inferiors Is Like That Between The Wind And The Grass. The Grass Must Bend, When The Wind Blows Across It.

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.
