To appear wise, one must talk;
To be wise, one must listen.
To appear to do good, one must
be busy;
To do good, one must know when to stand aside.
To appear to lead, one must put
oneself first;
To lead, one must put oneself last.
To appear caring, one must give
advice;
To be caring, one must give space.
To appear to love, one must know
how to give;
To love, one must know also how to receive.
To appear happy, one must
smile;
To be happy, one must be free with tears. |
