Everything Foreign Is Respected, Partly Because It

Courtesy Is The Politic Witchery Of Great Personages.

You May Be Obliged To Wage War, But Not To Use Poisoned Arrows.

Attain And Maintain A Reputation, For It Is The Usufruct Of Fame. A Stiff Climb, For It Is The Issue Of Excellence, As Rare As Mediocrity Is Common.

Aspire Rather To Be A Hero Than Merely Appear One.

Do Not Make Mistakes About Character. Better Be Cheated In The Price Than In The Quality Of Goods.
