Prosperity Makes Few Friends.

Obscurity Is The Kingdom Of Error.

The Counsels Of The Old, Like The Winter Sun, Shine, But Give No Heat.

Men Sometimes Feel Injured By Praise Because It Assigns A Limit To Their Merit; Few People Are Modest Enough Not To Take Offense That One Appreciates Them.

Generosity Gives Assistance, Rather Than Advice.

If A Man Is Endowed With A Noble And Courageous Soul, If He Is Painstaking, Proud, Ambitious, Without Meanness, Of A Profound A Deep-seated Intelligence, I Dare Assert That He Lacks Nothing To Be Neglected By The Great And Men In High Office, Who Fear, More Than Other Men, Those Whom They Cannot Dominate.
