All victories breed, and that over your superior is foolish or fatal.
Admiration is the basis of ignorance.
Things do not pass for what they are, but for what they seem. Most things are judged by their jackets.

Don't express your ideas too clearly. Most people think little of what they understand, and venerate what they do not.
Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.
