Zeal Should Not Outrun Discretion.

Our Insignificance Is Often The Cause Of Our Safety.

Notoriety Is Often Mistaken For Fame.

If You Wish Me Well, Do Not Stand Pitying Me, But Lend Me Some Succour As Fast As You Can; For Pity Is But Cold Comfort When One Is Up To The Chin In Water, And Within A Hair's Breadth Of Starving Or Drowning.

Better A Long Life Of Toil Than A Short One Of Ease.

It Is Wise To Turn Circumstances To Good Account.
