"Reverence for parents" stands written among the three laws of most revered righteousness.
If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.

Base men who prosper are unenviable.
High fortune, this in man's eye is god and more than god is this.
We spoil ourselves with scruples long as things go well.
