The useful and the beautiful are never separated.
He who has once made himself notorious as utterly unprincipled, is not credited even when he speaks the truth.
He who trusts himself for safety to the care of a wicked man, in seeking succor meets with ruin.
However exalted our position, we should still not despise the powers of the humble.
Be moderate in prosperity, prudent in adversity.
He who assists the wicked will in time rue it.
