Do not give surety beyond your means; but if you give surety, be prepared to pay.

Do not go to law against a judge, for the decision will favor him because of his standing.

Do not go traveling with the reckless, or they will be burdensome to you; for they will act as they please, and through their folly you will perish with them.

Do not pick a fight with the quick-tempered, and do not journey with them through lonely country, because bloodshed means nothing to them, and where no help is at hand, they will strike you down.
