Still work for the minute and not for the year. - Rules of the Road [Peace] Take gifts with a sigh: most men give to be paid. - Rules of the Road [Gifts] What man would be wise, let him drink of the river That bears on his bosom the record of time; A message to him every wave can deliver To teach him to creep till he knows how to climb. - Rules of the Road [Experience] When honor comes to you be ready to take it; But reach not to seize it before it is near. - Rules of the Road [Honor] Who heeds not experience, trust him not. - Rules of the Road [Experience] He silent and safe--silence never betrays you. - Rules of the Road (st. 2) [Silence]
