Learn how to regulate one's own house well.
If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, never forget it.
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.
Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense.
As the touchstone tries gold, so gold tries men.
