Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.
Many would be cowards if they had courage enough.
If thou are a master, be sometimes blind; if a servant, sometimes deaf.
Enquire not what boils in another's pot.
Purchase not friends by gifts; when thou ceasest to give, such will cease to love.
Be not extravagantly high in expression of thy commendations of men thou likest, it may make the hearer's stomach rise.
Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof.
