Be not so bigoted to any custom as to worship it at the expense of truth.
Do not think that your Learning and Genius, your Wit or Sprightliness, are welcome everywhere. I was once told that my Company was disagreeable because I appeared so uncommonly happy.
Never lose sight of this important truth, that no one can be truly great until he has gained a knowledge of himself, a knowledge which can only be acquired by occasional retirement.
Open your mouth and purse cautiously, and your stock of wealth and reputation shall, at least in repute, be great.
