“He should eschew deadly attacks, abuse and calumny. A clever man should not display deceit, self-conceit, or sharpness. He should not disgrace with ridicule fools, insane persons, or those in calamity, the deformed, or magicians, or those who have limbs deficient or superfluous.
“He should not inflict punishment on another in order to instruct a son or disciple.“Likewise the wise man should not draw his seat towards him and sit down.
