Take care to make things turn out well. Some people scruple more over pointing things in the right direction than over successfully reaching their goals. The disgrace of failure outweighs the diligence they showed. A winner is never asked for explanations.
Know the great men of your age.
Luck can be assisted. It is not all chance with the wise.
Aspire rather to be a hero than merely appear one.
Friends provoked become the bitterest of enemies.
An ounce of prudence is worth a pound of cleverness.
