No one but myself can be blamed for my fall. I have been my own greatest enemy-the cause of my own disastrous fate.

We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.

I am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!

I feel that what was done in the dark will come to light. There are secrets everybody's gonna find out about.

Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.

Those base men who speak of the secret faults of others destroy themselves like serpents that stray onto anthills.
