Do nothing immoderate.
If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, never forget it.
What is difficult? To keep a secret, to employ leisure well, to be able to bear an injury.
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.
As the touchstone tries gold, so gold tries men.
