We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Live as if you were eternal.
Sincerity is glass, discretion is diamond.

Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal.
Business is a combination of war and sport.
