Know your strongest point-your preminent gift, cultivate that and you will assist the rest. Everyone would have excelled in someting if he had known his strong point.Notice in what quality you surpass and take charge of that. In some judgement excels, in some valour. Most do voilence in their natural aptitude, and thus attain superiotity in nothing. Time disillusionizes us too late of what first flattered the passions.

mongo China	prize intensity more than extent. Excellence resides in quality not in quantity. The best is always few and rare: much lowers value.Even among men giants are commonly the real dwarfs. Some reckon books by the thickness, as if they were written to try the brawn more than the brain. Extent alone never rises above mediocrity: it is the misfortune of universal geniuses that in attempting to be at home everywhere, are so nowhere.Intensity gives eminence, and rises to the heroic in matters sublime.

mongo China	Be slow and sure. Early enouth if well. Quickly done can be quicky undone. To last an eternity requires an eternity of preparation. Only exellence counts;only achievement endures. Profound intelligence is the only foundation for immortality. Worth much costs much. The precious metals are the heaviest .

mongo China	To be without passions. It is the privilege of the highest order of mind. Their very eminence redeems you from being affected by transient and low impulses. Their is no higher rule than that over oneself, over one's impulses:there is the triumph of free will. While passion rules the character, do not let it threaten your pasition, especially if it is a high one. It is the only refined way of avoiding scandals;nay, it is the shortest way back to good repute.

mongo China	Put up with Raillery, but do not Practise it Put up with raillery, but do not practise it. The first is a form of courtesy, the second may lead to embarrassment.To snarl at play has something of the beast amd seems to have more.Audacious raillery is delightful, to stand it proves power.To show oneself annoyed causes the other to be annoyed. Best leave it alone；the surest way not to put on the fool's cap that might fit.The most serious matter have arisen out of jests.Nothing requires more tact and attention.Before you begin to joke know how far the subject of your joke is able to bear it.
