“Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours. ”

“The volume of credit depends upon three factors: the desire to borrow, the ability to lend and the desire to lend.”

“If you can't make yourself understood by your friends, you'll be in trouble when your enemies come for you.”

“Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.”

“The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.”

“Play your part in the comedy, but don't identify yourself with your role!”

“There's no need to lower or raise yourself above the things that you are not. Live according to your ability. Be true to yourself and your own nature.”

“Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.”

“And when you're with yourself, oh don't let it go to your head. ~ "Carlos (Don't Let It Go To Your Head)”

“You haven't any right to expect your friends to be larger than yourself, larger than life. Just take them as they are, cut down to average size, and be glad you have them. To drink with, laugh with, borrow money from, lend money to, stay away from their special girls as you want them to stay away from yours, and above all, never break your word to, once it's been given. And that is all the obligation you have, all you have the right to expect.”
