Watchfulness is the only guard against cunning. Be intent on his intentions. Many succeed in making others do their own affairs, and unless you possess the key to their motives you may at any moment be forced to take their chestnuts out of the fire to the damage of your own fingers.

Truth is for the minority.

No' and 'Yes' are words quickly said, but they need a great amount of thought before you utter them.

Peacemakers not only live, they rule life.

Lies always come first, dragging fools along by their irreparable vulgarity. Truth always lags last, limping along on the arm of time.

Begin with another's to end with your own.

Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.
