Ill-will always to be expected, 280. It is not enough that our
enemies do us no harm, 281. We may not be able to change bad men into
good men, 282. But it is possible to derive good even from bad men,
283. An enemy, in order to discover our failings, carefully watches
all our movements and affairs, 283. Learn from this to be wary and
circumspect, 284. Learn to be discreet and sober, and to give offence
to nobody, 285. Live above reproach, 286, 287. When censured and
accused, examine if there be just cause for it, 288. Be willing
to hear the truth even from the lips of enemies, 289. If accused
unjustly, avoid even the appearance of the supposed wrong, 290.
Have you given any occasion for the false accusation? 291. Learn to
keep the tongue in subjection, 292. Be magnanimous and kind to your
enemy, 293. Indulge no malignant passion, 294. Envy not your enemy’s
success, 297.
