Abstract
Immoral success is defeated at the end. Self-control is necessary. Poverty gives more freedom than wealth does. Nobility in the soul makes be high with the highest, and easy with humiliated, and it doesn’t complain. It is easier to manage crooked people with strong actions. Negativity is stronger. One bad person is worse than ten good people.
