To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.
