Death And Life Have Their Determined Appointments;

Riches And Honor Are What Everyone Desires, But If They Can Be Gained Only By Doing Evil, They Must Not Be Held. Don't Worry About Not Being In Office, Worry About Qualifying Yourself For Office. Don't Worry That No One Knows You, But Seek To Be Worthy Of Being Known.

The Virtuous Will Be Sure To Speak Uprightly; But Those Whose Speech Is Upright May Not Be Virtuous.

If Doing What Ought To Be Done Be Made The First Business And Success A Secondary Consideration--is Not This The Way To Exalt Virtue?

Learning, Undigested By Thought, Is Labor Lost.

If You Devote Your Life To Seeking Revenge, First Dig Two Graves.
