Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a colour.

When once ambition has passed its natural limits, its progress is boundless.

The highest duty and the highest proof of wisdom - that deed and word should be in accord.

If you live according to nature, you never will be poor; if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.

Associate with people who are likely to improve you.

We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.

If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
