It Is Ill-manners To Silence

Whoever Feels Pain In Hearing A Good Character Of His Neighbor, Will Feel A Pleasure In The Reverse. And Those Who Despair To Rise In Distinction By Their Virtues, Are Happy If Others Can Be Depressed To A Level Of Themselves.

Hereafter, If You Should Observe An Occasion To Give Your Officers And Friends A Little More Praise Than Is Their Due, And Confess More Fault Than You Can Justly Be Charged With, You Will Only Become The Sooner For It, A Great Captain.

To Err Is Human, To Repent Divine; To Persist Devilish.

Love Your Enemies, For They Tell You Your Faults.

Be Studious In Your Profession, And You Will Be Learned. Be Industrious And Frugal, And You Will Be Rich. Be Sober And Temperate, And You Will Be Healthy. Be In General Virtuous, And You Will Be Happy. At Least You Will, By Such Conduct, Stand The Be.
