Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

For everything you have missed you have gained something.

Gain cannot be made without some other person's loss.

No profit grows where is no pleasure ta'en. In brief, sir, study what you most effect.

Share the advice betwixt you; if both gain all The gift doth stretch itself as 'tis receiv'd, And is enough for both.

This casket threatens; men that hazard all Do it in hope of fair advantages. A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross; I'll then nor give nor hazard aught for lead.
