Passion colors all that it touches in its own hues.

Know how to choose well. Most of life depends thereon. It needs good taste and correct judgment, for which neither intellect nor study suffices.

Little said is soon amended. There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.

Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.

Display startling novelty-rise afresh like the sun every day. Change too the scene on which you shine, so that you rloss may be felt in the old scenes of your triumph, while the novelty of your powers wins applause in the new.

Knowledge without wisdom is double folly.

Leave your luck while still winning.
