The Art of Worldly Wisdom(58)

Adapt Yourself to Those around You. There is no need to show your ability before everyone. Employ no more force than is necessary. Let there be no unnecessary expenditure either of knowledge or of power. The skillful falconer only flies enough birds to serve for the chase. If there is too much display today there will be nothing to show tomorrow. Always have some novelty with which to dazzle. To show something fresh each day keeps expectation alive and conceals the limits of capacity.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
