Do not get a name as overly lavish or too inhospitable.
Potter is potter's enemy, and craftsman is craftsman's rival; tramp is jealous of tramp, and singer of singer.
In the race for wealth, a neighbor tries to outdo his neighbor, but this strife is good for men. For the potter envies potter, and the carpenter the carpenter, and the beggar rivals the beggar, and the singer the singer.
Work is not a shame. Laziness is a shame.
Gossip and rumor are evil; easy to lift up, heavy to carry, and hard to put down again.
The fool learns by suffering.
