Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.
Never expose yourself unnecessarily to danger; a miracle may not save you…and if it does, it will be deducted from your share of luck or merit.
Never be a cynic, even a gentle one. Never help out a sneer, even at the devil.
Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.
Reprove thy friend privately; commend him publicly.
