Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense.
Do not make too much haste on one's road.
The tongue should not be suffered to outrun the mind.
If one is strong be also merciful, so that one's neighbors may respect one rather than fear one.
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.
