64. An excellent man looks only on his own defects, a bad 
man seeks fault only with others. The peacock judges of his 
own body —a bat gives ill omens to others. 
5. An excellent man, by his gentleness, preserves both 
himself and others ; a bad man causes pain both to himself and 
to others by his stiffness. A fruit tree keeps (nourishes) both 
itself and others ; a dry tree, by its stiffness cumbers both itself 
and others. 
s long as you have wealth, every one is your 
kinsman, if you are declined, every one is your foe. The island 
of precious metals is visited from far distance—when the lake 
(or sea) is dried up every one leaves it off.
