“LAW 4
Always Say Less Than Necessary

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“Once bitten twice shy? Sure, but... why not get a bigger dog and bite them back?”
― A.A. Bell , Hindsight

“When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims, and achieved fewer results, than any other branch of learning.”
― Bertrand Russell, Our Knowledge of the External World
