A man, though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind. Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the Gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise. All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.
