We Must Form Our Minds By Reading

Vain Hopes Are Like Certain Dreams Of Those Who Wake.

Those Who Wish To Appear Wise Among Fools, Among The Wise Seem Foolish.

Let Us Never Adopt The Maxim, Rather Lose Our Friend Than Our Jest.

We Should Not Speak So That It Is Possible For The Audience To Understand Us, But So That It Is Impossible For Them To Misunderstand Us.

Give Me The Boy Who Rouses When He Is Praised, Who Profits When He Is Encouraged And Who Cries When He Is Defeated. Such A Boy Will Be Fired By Ambition; He Will Be Stung By Reproach, And Animated By Preference; Never Shall I Apprehend Any Bad Consequences From Idleness In Such A Boy.
