There Is Nothing More Important Than Appearing

Benefits Should Be Conferred Gradually; And In That Way They Will Taste Better.

Impetuosity And Audacity Often Achieve What Ordinary Means Fail To Achieve.

For This Is The Tragedy Of Man Circumstances Change, But He Does Not.

Men Nearly Always Follow The Tracks Made By Others And Proceed In Their Affairs By Imitation, Even Though They Cannot Entirely Keep To The Tracks Of Others Or Emulate The Prowess Of Their Models. So A Prudent Man Should Always Follow In The Footsteps Of Great Men And Imitate Those Who Have Been Outstanding.

I Hold It To Be A Proof Of Great Prudence For Men To Abstain From Threats And Insulting Words Toward Anyone, For Neither Diminishes The Strength Of The Enemy.
