It Is A Poor Wit Who Lives

There Is No Mortal Truly Wise And Restless At Once; Wisdom Is The Repose Of Minds.

Not Every One Who Has The Gift Of Speech Understands The Value Of Silence.

Who Is Open Without Levity; Generous Without Waste; Secret Without Craft; Humble Without Meanness; Bold Without Insolence; Cautious Without Anxiety; Regular, Yet Not Formal; Mild, Yet Not Timid; Firm, Yet Not Tyrannical - Is Made To Pass The Ordeal Of Honour, Friendship, Virtue.

Calmness Of Will Is A Sign Of Grandeur.

Who, Under Pressing Temptations To Lie, Adheres To Truth, Nor To The Profane Betrays Aught Of A Sacred Trust, Is Near The Summit Of Wisdom And Virtue.
