Hereafter, if you should observe an occasion to give your officers and friends a little more praise than is their due, and confess more fault than you can justly be charged with, you will only become the sooner for it, a great captain.
The busy man has few idle visitors; to the boiling pot the flies come not.
He that would fish, must venture his bait.
He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say farewell to his creditors
If you desire many things, many things will seem few.
If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today.
