When it's your own fault, things hurt worse than when someone else is to blame.
You're fortunate when you can afford to be virtuous.
How to fail: Try too hard.
Since you have to do the things you have to do, be wise enough to do some of the things you want to do.
Nothing is sometimes the right thing to say.
Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.
