"IV. Lie not, but be truthful. Speak the truth with discretion, fearlessly and in a loving heart. 7
"V. Invent not evil reports, neither do ye repeat them. Carp not, but look for the good sides of your fellow-beings, so that ye may with sincerity defend them against their enemies. 8
"VI. Swear not, but speak decently and with dignity. 9
"VII. Waste not the time with gossip, but speak to the purpose or keep silence. 10
"VIII. Covet not, nor envy, but rejoice at the fortunes of other people. 11
"IX. Cleanse your heart of malice and cherish no hatred, not even against your enemies; but embrace all living beings with kindness. 12
"X. Free your mind of ignorance and be anxious to learn the truth, especially in the one thing that is needful, lest you fall a prey either to scepticism or to errors. Scepticism will make you indifferent and errors will lead you astray, so that you shall not find the noble path that leads to life eternal." 13
