The weak show cruelty, sinners display false bravery, and low people hide cunning beneath harsh words—this is the kind of “heroism” among the ignoble.

A wise man avoids impossible tasks, never engages in wrong action, speaks no falsehood, and does not tolerate laziness.
The wise do not begin impossible acts or immoral ones; they live righteously according to time and place.
