Each of you has his appointed duties, which must not be neglected; individually they may seem insignificant, but collectively they are all-important. The affairs of the state are as important as your own private affairs. Behave towards others as you would wish me to behave towards you. A good reputation is more precious than wealth. Do not look upon spending money as a loss and receiving it as a gain; both spending and saving are good if the circumstances and motives are right.
