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.
Hear, see, and be silent.
Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.
Silence is the sanctuary of prudence.
It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterwards.
Superiority is always detested.
