The best is he who calls men to the best. And those who heed the call are also blessed. But worthless who call not, heed not, but rest.

Hesiod quotes
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.
If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much.
It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy.
Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.
The best is he who calls men to the best. And those who heed the call are also blessed. But worthless who call not, heed not, but rest.
The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.
