Do not let one's tongue outrun one's sense.
As the touchstone tries gold, so gold tries men.
When strong, be merciful, if you would have the respect, not the fear of your neighbors.
A youthful age is desirable, but aged youth is troublesome and grievous.
Prefer punishment to disgraceful gain; for the one is painful but once, but the other for one's whole life.
If one is strong be also merciful, so that one's neighbors may respect one rather than fear one.
