Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Before I speak, I have something important to say.
The ministers of kings should learn to moderate their ambition. The higher they elevate themselves above their proper sphere, the greater the danger that they will fall.
One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.
To know how to dissimulate is the knowledge of kings.
As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.
LET us honour the King by cherishing respectful Sentiments concerning him; speaking of him with Affection, with Esteem and Reverence; and by promoting a like Spirit and Conduct in others.
My child, you are going to be a great king; do not imitate me in the taste I have had for building, or in that I have had for war; try, on the contrary, to be at peace with your neighbors.
Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.
The enemies cannot destroy the king who has at his service the respect and friendship of the wise men who can find fault, disagree, and correct him.
Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.
