Plan Ahead Or Find Trouble

Don't Worry If People Don't Recognize Your Merits; Worry That You May Not Recognize Theirs.

Have No Friends Not Equal To Yourself.

Don't Worry About Being Acknowledged By Others; Worry About Failing To Acknowledge Them.

In Antiquity Men Studied For Their Own Sake; Nowadays Men Study For The Sake Of Impressing Others.

Although Your Father And Mother Are Dead, If You Propose To Yourself Any Good Work, Only Reflect How It Will Make Their Names Illustrious, And Your Purpose Will Be Fixed.
