Try to attain them if you can. They may exist in a father, but not exist in his son. They may exist in a son but not exist in his father. They may exist in a slave, but not in a free person. They are: courage in a battle; honesty in speech; returning what you are entrusted with; visiting the relations of kin; entertaining the guests; feeding the beggars; returning favors; respecting and being kind to neighbors; respecting and being kind to friends; and above all being modest.â
