The foolish undertake a trifling act, and soon desist,
discouraged; wise men engage in mighty works, and persevere.
A good man’s intellect is piercing, yet inflicts no wound;
his actions are deliberate, yet bold; his heart is warm, but never burns; his
speech is eloquent, yet ever true.
That energy which veils itself in mildness is most effective
of its object.
Weak men gain their object when allied with strong
associates: the brook reaches the ocean by the river’s aid.
