WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE WHO BEGIN WITH ANOTHER'S CONCERN
TO END WITH THEIR OWN
Watchfulness is the only guard against cunning. Be intent on their intentions. Many succeed in making others do their own affairs, and unless you possess the key to their motives you may at any moment be forced to take their chestnuts out of the fire to the damage of your own fingers.
