“Ne vous soumettez à personne, ni de corps, ni de cœur. Sachez garder votre esprit libre de toute entrave. Combien se croient libres, qui ne sont que prisonniers sans menottes ! Prêtez votre oreille à chacun, mais réservez votre cœur aux hommes qui le méritent. Respectez ceux qui vous gouvernent, mais ne leur obéissez pas aveuglément. Utilisez votre logique et votre sens critique pour comprendre ce qui vous arrive, mais ne passez pas votre temps à émettre des jugements. Ne pensez pas que quelqu’un vous est supérieur parce qu’il est plus haut placé ou plus fortuné que vous. Soyez équitables envers tous afin que personne ne cherche à se venger de vous. Soyez prudent avec l’argent. Croyez ferme en ce que vous professez, afin que les autres vous écoutent. Enfin, en amour, mon seul conseil est d’être honnête. Je ne connais pas de moyen plus efficace pour gagner durablement un cœur ou pouvoir prétendre au pardon.”
