Men, Even When Alone, Lighten

Prune What Is Turgid, Elevate What Is Commonplace, Arrange What Is Disorderly, Introduce Rhythm Where The Language Is Harsh, Modify Where It Is Too Absolute.

For The Mind Is All The Easier To Teach Before It Is Set.

A Mediocre Speech Supported By All The Power Of Delivery Will Be More Impressive Than The Best Speech Unaccompanied By Such Power.

When Defeat Is Inevitable, It Is Wisest To Yield.

That Which Prematurely Arrives At Perfection Soon Perishes.
