As Pride Increases, Fortune Declines.

Eyes And Priests Bear No Jests.

Be Civil To All; Serviceable To Many; Familiar With Few; Friend To One; Enemy To None.

Increase In Me That Wisdom Which Discovers My Truest Interest, Strengthen My Resolution To Perform That Which Wisdom Dictates.

Marry Above Thy Match And You Will Get A Master.

I Never Knew A Man Who Was Good At Making Excuses Who Was Good At Anything Else.
