Good people shine from afar, like the snowy mountains; bad people are concealed, like arrows shot by night. 34
If a man by causing pain to others, wishes to obtain pleasure for himself, he, entangled in the bonds of selfishness, will never be free from hatred. 35
Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good; let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth! 36
For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by not-hatred, this is an old rule. 37
Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked; by these three steps thou wilt become divine. 38
Let a wise man blow off the impurities of his self, as a smith blows off the impurities of silver, one by one, little by little, and from time to time. 39
Lead others, not by violence, but by righteousness and equity. 40
He who possesses virtue and intelligence, who is just, speaks the truth, and does what is his own business, him the world will hold dear. 41
As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its color or scent, so let a sage dwell in the community. 42
If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with fools. 43
