Tell no one the secret that you want to keep, although he may be worthy of confidence; for no one will be so careful of your secret as yourself.

None can be so true to your secret as yourself.

Expose not the secret failings of mankind, otherwise you must verily bring scandal upon them and distrust upon yourself.

Publish not men's secret faults, for by disgracing them you make yourself of no repute.

God preserve us! If men knew what is done in secret, no one would be free from the interference of others.
