Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly

Wealth and rank are what people desire, but unless they are obtained in the right way they may not be possessed.

Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, seek to be worthy of being known.

Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
