When strong, be merciful, if you would have the respect, not the fear of your neighbors.
Do nothing immoderate.
If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, never forget it.
Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense.
Prefer punishment to disgraceful gain; for the one is painful but once, but the other for one's whole life.
Do not make too much haste on one's road.
