Those who have wisdom have all:Fools with all have nothing.

When the rare chance comes, seize itTo do the rare deed.

Those are fools however learnedWho have not learned to walk with the world.

It is politics to please and hoodwink thoseWho flatter but despise us.

The vast world rainless, one may bid adieuTo charity and penance.

The immoral can no more earn respectThan the envious be rich.

Make foes of bowmen if you must,Never of penmen.

Fame is a jealous mistressAnd will brook no rival.

It is compassion, the most gracious of virtues,Which moves the world.
