What you dislike in your superiors, avoid doing to your inferiors. What you dislike in your inferiors, avoid doing when working for your superiors. What you hate in those who are in front of you, do not do to those behind you.
Respect the gods, but have as little to do with them as possible.
If you devote your life to seeking revenge, first dig two graves.
