Learn how to regulate one's own house well.

If one is strong be also merciful, so that one's neighbors may respect one rather than fear one.

What is difficult? To keep a secret, to employ leisure well, to be able to bear an injury.

If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, never forget it.

When strong, be merciful, if you would have the respect, not the fear of your neighbors.

Do nothing immoderate.

Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense.
