Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.

If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.

Never expose yourself unnecessarily to danger; a miracle may not save you...and if it does, it will be deducted from your share of luck or merit.

Never be a cynic, even a gentle one. Never help out a sneer, even at the devil.

Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

Reprove thy friend privately; commend him publicly.

There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge, and fox, and squirrel.

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.

If you bow at all, bow low.
