`♥♪♫✫♥I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.

without knowing in the least what they mean.

`♥♪♫✫♥Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire;

when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it,

you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again.

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
