It Is Therefore An Excellent

A Brand New Mediocrity Is Thought More Of Than Accustomed Excellence.

Be Known For Pleasing Others, Especially If You Govern Them. Ruling Other Has One Advantage: You Can Do More Good Than Anyone Else.

If You Are Wise, Live As You Can; If You Cannot, Live As You Would.

Those Who Insist On The Dignity Of Their Office Show They Have Not Deserved It.

Some Are Satisfied To Stand Politely Before The Portals Of Fortune And To Await Her Bidding; Better Those Who Push Forward, Who Employ Their Enterprise, Who On The Wings Of Their Worth And Valor Seek To Embrace Luck, And To Effectively Gain Her Favor.
