The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple.

行为恭敬，待人宽厚，处事平和，心意正直，学圣贤之道，选择良友以求有益身心，改进缺点以求完满。

译文：立身处世切记不要胡作非为，要懂得约束自己的言行，以免让父母蒙受羞辱；创家立业，求取功名利禄，一定要深思熟虑，以免让自己的子孙遭受祸患。赏析：人的一生，离不开社会，离不开俗世尘埃，所以，人的一切言行举止都应该考虑后果，考虑自己的言行是否给父母或孩子带去坏的名声。
