All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed. When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more. Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work—it only raises questions. Teach no one your tricks or they will be used against you.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> | {{Quote|text=&quot;The ending is everything. Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others. By planning to the end you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> | {{Quote|text=&quot;Never seem to be in a hurry — hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> | {{Quote|text=&quot;Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious than the bland and timid masses.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> | {{Quote|text=&quot;Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual — the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoner of goodwill. If you allow such people room to operate, others will succumb to their influence. Do not wait for the troubles they cause to multiply, do not try to negotiate with them — they are irredeemable. Neutralize their influence by isolating or banishing them. Strike at the source of the trouble and the sheep will scatter.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> | {{Quote|text=&quot;Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others — that is too high a price to pay.&quot;|author=Robert Greene|source=&#039;&#039;The 48 Laws of Power&#039;&#039; (1998)}}<br /> }}&lt;/includeonly&gt;[[Category:CS templates]]</div>
