A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
Always act as if you were seen.
Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some people, nor for others, easier.
Lies always come first, dragging fools along by their irreparable vulgarity. Truth always lags last, limping along on the arm of time.
Hope is a great falsifier of truth.
Many have had their greatness made for them by their enemies.
