116. The qualifications of a bad man, the imperfect learning of 

 a mighty speaker, the kindnesses of a bad master, seldom are use- 

 ful to others. 



117. If a man is opulent, his discourse is pleasing, an indi- 

 gent, though he speaks the truth, is contemned. A piece of wood 

 if brought from the Malaya mountain, though it is only a common 

 one, has a high price. 



118. Much talking is the cause of danger, silence is the founda- 

 tion of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a 

 cage, other birds, that are mute, fly at random. 



119. When a man endeavours to be useful to an enemy in every 

 respect, without hypocrisy and when the enemy also yields him 

 without artifice, it shows a great character.
