180. Be studious to conceal the manner of your actions. Com-' 

 monly, it is weakness to show it plainly. Had the eye not been 

 found devising they would not have tied a rope on his neck. 



181. To what use are such food- and goods as are contemned by 

 others ? What wise man would have such dirty things as are eaten 

 by dogs and swine ? 



182. We should never use such expressions as might hurt one, 

 not even against an enemy ; they immediately will return on us, 

 like an echo from a rock. 



183. If you wish to injure an enemy, make yourself perfect in 

 all good qualities. By doing so, the enemy himself will be mortw 

 fied, and you yourself also shall improve in virtue.
