<p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others</em></strong></p>

<p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity<span class="ql-cursor">﻿</span> is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.</em></strong></p>

<p>Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent</p>

<p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life's artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.</em></strong></p>

<p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.</em></strong></p>

<p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter</em></strong></p>
