Life without learning is death.

Man's life is ruled by fortune, not by wisdom.

Study carefully, the character of the one you recommend, lest their misconduct bring you shame.

To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.

Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind.

Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
