○ Blessings arise from frugality, and virtue from humility. Worry stems from greed, anger from covetousness, faults from carelessness, and sin from impatience.
○ Be mindful of your eyes, so as not to see the faults of others. Be mindful of your mouth, so as not to speak of the flaws of others. Be mindful of your body, so as not to follow bad company.
○ Do not speak idly of things that are not beneficial. Do not meddle in matters that do not concern you.
○ Respect your elders and treat those below you with love. Clearly discern between wisdom and foolishness, and be generous towards the ignorant.
○ Do not expect to be treated well by others; instead, treat others well first. Do not desire undue favor for yourself. Once a matter is past, do not dwell on it.
○ If you harm others, it will eventually come back to you. If you chase after money too much, you will become its slave. If you rely on power, you will lose your wealth. If you don't practice thrift, your household will eventually be ruined.
