“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.

The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.”
― The 48 Laws of Power

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.”

“In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.”
