- When you delight in hearing evil talk, be angry with yourself and not with the speaker. For listening in a sinful way makes the messenger seem sinful.
- If you come across people gossiping idly, consider yourself responsible for their talk - if not on account of some recent fault of your own, then because of an old debt.
- If someone praises you hypocritically, be sure that in due course he will vilify you.
- Accept present afflictions for the sake of future blessings; then you will never weaken in your struggle.
- When someone supplies your bodily needs and you praise him as good in his own right apart from God, he will later seem to you to be evil.
