Do not mistake charm for virtue.

Never confuse movement with action.

Don’t mistake assertiveness or eloquence for good ideas.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

We must be neither cowardly nor rash but courageous.

Don't mistake dramatics for a conscience.

Don't mistake politeness for lack of strength.

Call it not paranoia, but caution.

Don’t mistake your assumptions for the truth.

Better to be overly cautious than naive.

Never confuse someone else's inability to do something with its inability to be done.

Never mistake motion for action.

To see what’s right and not do it is cowardice.

Now, don't be angry after you've been afraid. That's the worst kind of cowardice.
