Know or listen to those who know.

The things we remember best are those better forgotten.

We often have to put up with most from those on whom we most depend.

Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.
