Know your opportunity.
Do not to your neighbor what you would take ill from him.
Do not reproach a man with his misfortunes, fearing lest Nemesis may overtake you.
Know thine opportunity.
Measure a person by what they do with power.
Cultivate truth, good faith, experience, cleverness, sociability, and industry.
You should know which opportunities to choose.
Speak no ill of a friend, nor even of an enemy.
What thou intendest to do, speak not of before thou doest it.
That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.
Know the right moment.
Forgiveness is better than revenge.
