“A goal without a plan is a dream.”

“Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.”

But year after year our tables get no completeness, and at last we discover that our curve is a parabola, whose arcs will never meet.”

“Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.”

“My son, by all means desist from kicking the venerable and enlightened Vizier: for as a costly jewel retains its value even if hidden in a dung-hill, so old age and discretion are to be respected even in the vile persons of our subjects. Desist therefore, and tell us what you desire and propose.”
