²⁸
In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,
But in a lack of people is a [pretentious] prince’s ruin.
²⁹ 
He who is slow to anger has great understanding [and profits from his self-control],
But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see].

But passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones.
