Remember to be calm in adversity.
To the inexperienced it is a pleasant thing to court the favour of the great; an experienced man fears it.
For, once begun, Your task is easy; half the work is done.
Take away the danger and remove the restraint, and wayward nature runs free.
Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
