Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.

Excellence resides in quality, not in quantity. The best is always few and rare; much lowers value.

The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.

Put a grain of boldness into everything you do.

You should aim to be independent of any one vote, of any one fashion, of any one century.

Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.

What is not seen is as if it was not. Even the Right does not receive proper consideration if it does not seem right.
