Wise advice from Patera Silk to his student Horn:

There are more important things to learn than swordfighting, Horn. Whom to fight, for example. One of them is to keep secrets. Someone who holds in confidence only those secrets he has been told not to reveal can never be trusted. Surely you understand that. — Gene Wolfe, Litany of the Long Sun, p. 282.
