“Do you know who I am (The Sonnet) Oh, so many times have I heard, Do you know who I am! So today when I travel places, I walk around as a total lamb! There's an immense relief, In not flashing my name. Windbags make all the noise, Beings with character stay inane. Be an elephant, strong yet gentle, You observe more by being a dumbbell. Blow your top when it's really needed, Otherwise, be good people among the people. All roads lead to people, not to mythical Rome. Names aloof from people have no living role.”

“Conceal your learning from the company Never display your learning, but on particular occasions. Reserve it for learned men, and let even these rather extort it from you, than appear forward to display it. Hence you will be deemed modest, and reputed to possess more knowledge than you really have. Never seem wiser or more learned than your company. The man who affects to display his learning, will be frequently questioned; and if found superficial, will be ridiculed and despised; if otherwise, he will be deemed a pedant. Nothing can lessen real merit (which will always shew itself) in the opinion of the world, but an ostentatious display by its possessor.”
