However exalted our position, we should still not despise the powers of the humble.
Practice is everything. This is often misquoted as Practice makes perfect.
He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succor meets with ruin.
Pleasures are transient, honors are immortal.
He who assists the wicked will in time rue it.
The saying, "Practice is everything," is Periander's.
