7
Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all.
8
With friend or foe do not report it, and unless it would be a sin for you, do not disclose it;
9
for some one has heard you and watched you, and when the time comes he will hate you.
10
Have you heard a word? Let it die with you. Be brave! It will not make you burst!
11
With such a word a fool will suffer pangs like a woman in labor with a child.
