“To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth hi…” — Akhenaton

Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.

The lips of the wise are as the doors of a cabinet; no sooner are they opened, but treasures are poured out before thee.

Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.

Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it.
