Best is the man who thinks for himself.
Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.
Do not get a name as overly lavish or too inhospitable.
Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.
The man who procrastinates is always struggling with misfortunes.
In work there is no shame; shame is in the idleness.
