Always Act As If You Were Seen.

Some Are Satisfied To Stand Politely Before The Portals Of Fortune And To Await Her Bidding; Better Those Who Push Forward, Who Employ Their Enterprise, Who On The Wings Of Their Worth And Valor Seek To Embrace Luck, And To Effectively Gain Her Favor.

Some Would Be Sages If They Did Not Believe They Were So Already.

The More Merit, The Less Affection.

It Is Good To Vary In Order That You May Frustrate The Curious, Especially Those Who Envy You.
