Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.

Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds.

Patience is the most necessary quality for business, many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request.

Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.
