Leave your luck while still winning.

There are friendships merely for pleasure, some for the exchange of ideas. Rarest are those friends of one's inmost self.

He who finds Fortune on his side should go briskly ahead, for she is wont to favor the bold.

None is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others.

Cultivate those who can teach you.

At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.

Leave your luck while still winning.
