Code of Honour

• Watch what a man does over years, not just what he tells you about himself.
• Recognition for good work is often worth more than a discount, and costs less.
• The dearest purchases are made for someone else’s eyes.
• Feeling without a check forgets yesterday’s loss every morning. A check without feeling can’t even pick a restaurant.
• Caught a seller on the figures, and he answers with an oath? Hear out the oath, send the sample to the lab.
• A decision that can’t be undone belongs to tomorrow.
• When a man makes a mistake, let him put it right; don’t shame him before witnesses.
• A worried man needs a number, not comfort.
• Anger named out loud loses its strength.
• Ask what a man was working so hard for, and let him finish.
• Nothing frightens like the picture a man finishes himself.
• A good deed done before forty witnesses lives in forty heads.
• If you frighten, show the way out at once.
• Take the music and the kittens out of the advert. If the table’s empty, you paid for the scenery, not the thing.
• A client lured away by a scent, not by the goods, can only be kept with a stronger scent.
