When you see a good man, try to emulate his example, and when you see a bad man, search yourself for his faults.

Faithfulness and sincerity are the highest things.

The Man who says he can, and the man who says he can not.. Are both correct

To acknowledge our faults when we are blamed, is modesty; to discover them to one's friends in ingenuousness, is confidence; but to preach them to all the world, if one does not take care, is pride.

Riches and honor are what everyone desires, but if they can be gained only by doing evil, they must not be held. Don't worry about not being in office, worry about qualifying yourself for office. Don't worry that no one knows you, but seek to be worthy of being known.

Wisdom, humanity & courage, these three are universal virtues. The way by which they are practiced are one.

Who contains himself goes seldom wrong.
