The more people know, the more they forgive.

The sun and moon shine on all without partiality.

When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.

Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, seek to be worthy of being known.

What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others.
