Wherever you sit at a banquet, do not sit in the highest seat lest you be moved away therefrom and made to sit in a lower seat. If you would not be abused by others, do not abuse anyone. The good man lives at ease but the bad man suffers distress and grievous woe. Even though you know well a stretch of water much frequented by bathers, do not be over-hasty in going into rough water lest the water carry you away and you instantly die. When it is deflated, nothing remains.
Men are like suckling babes, creatures of habit who cling to their habits.
On the day of Ohrmazd drink wine and make merry. On the day of Shahrewar rejoice. On the day of Spandarmad till your land. On the day of Amurdad plant shrubs and trees. Do not be over-hasty to attend the feasts and banquets of the great lest you return from them abashed.
