38
How to act?
Never under compulsion without forethought. Don't gussy up your thoughts. / decorate/ No surplus of words or unnecessary action. Let spirit in you represent a man, soldier, and citizen. Remain posted where you were and hold your position unless you called. Cheerfulness. Without requiring other's people help. To stand up straight - not straightened.
39
What is not compatible with justice, honesty, courage, self-control?
Fame, high position, wealth, anything that makes you lose shame, self-respect, make you hypocritic. make you ill will, betray a trust. If you avoid all the above you won't have a single moment of fear and desire. If it is time go willingly.
