A wise man carries not severity to excess, nor suffers such relaxation as will lessen his own dignity.

Whosoever interrupts the conversation of others to make a display of his own wisdom, certainly betrays his ignorance.

Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become an enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend.
