Never cast pearls before swine.

Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.

If tempted by something that feels 'altruistic,' examine your motives and root out that self-deception. Then, if you still want to do it, wallow in it!

Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.

...more than six people cannot agree on anything, three is better and one is perfect for a job that one can do. This is why parliamentary bodies all through history, when they accomplished anything, owed it to a few strong men who dominated the rest.

You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.

Whoring is like military service...okay in the upper brackets, not so good lower down.
