Avoid those who talk a great deal before acting, those who never take a step without being quite sure that it will bring them respect.
A person who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he or she ought only to consider whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong- acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
