Whatever accomplishment you boast of in the world, there is someone better than you. What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning. Wash your hands often, your feet seldom, and your head never. War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military. Unwilling service earns no thanks. Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great. Trust not a new friend nor an old enemy. True love is friendship set on fire. When the heart overflows, it comes out through the mouth. Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. |
