My son, if thou wouldst advance high in life
And live in comfort, keep these few maxims
Well in mind.聽 Give thy thoughts no tongue
But if thou must, speak in a two-fold voice
Saying one thing and intending another.
Be thou familiar, as occasion requires.
Stand not on ceremony but cultivate everyone
Who matters, and ditch them when thy purpose is served.
Beware of entrance to a quarrel; never quarrel;
But like the mole that in the dark burrows
And undermines, cut the ground under
Your opponents by subtle, devious means.
And this above all: to thine own self be true.
Mark else;
the ripe fruit falls to the ground
But a balloon filled with hot air rises high.
So waste not time in study.聽 Keep your head light.
It is not what you know that matters
But whom you know.
