He who laughs at everything is as big a fool as he who weeps at everything.

Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself.

Leave your luck while still winning.

To keep is more important than to make friends.

He who laughs at everything is as big a fool as he who weeps at everything.

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.

Folly consists not in committing Folly, but in being incapable of concealing it. All men make mistakes, but the wise conceal the blunders they have made, while fools make them public. Reputation depends more on what is hidden than on what is seen. If you can’t be good, be careful.
