Cultivate truth, good faith, experience, cleverness, sociability, and industry..

Know the right moment..

Know thine opportunity..

Do well the duty that lies before you..

Do not to your neighbor what you would take ill from him..

That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have..

Do not say before hand what you are going to do; for if you fail, you will be laughed at..

What thou intendest to do, speak not of before thou doest it..

Measure a person by what they do with power..

Know your opportunity..

Do not reproach a man with his misfortunes, fearing lest Nemesis may overtake you..

The best state is that in which bad men are not allowed to hold office, and good men are not allowed to refuse office..

Seize time by the forelock..

Know thy opportunity..

Forgiveness is better than revenge..

Speak no ill of a friend, nor even of an enemy..

Whatever you do, do it well..

You should know which opportunities to choose..
