Originality finds the unexpected but inevitable next step.

Arrogance frowns; pride smiles.

I may forget my dignity, but you may not.

Position yourself well enough, and circumstances will do the rest.

Altruism is for those who cannot endure their desires.

The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.

In new situations, I look carefully at appearances. In familiar ones, I glance.
