Character and intelligence are the poles you talent spins on, displaying your gifts.

Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.

Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.

The heaven of the envied is hell for the envious.

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.

The sage never seems to know his own merits, for only by not noticing them can you call others' attention to them.

Evil report carries further than any applause.
