Self-Examination and Religious Discipline

Censure no man; detract no man; praise no man before his face; traduce no man behind his back. Boast not thyself abroad, nor flatter thyself at home: if any thing cross thee, accuse thyself; if any one extol thee, humble thyself. Honor those that instruct thee, and be thankful to those that reprehend thee. Let all thy desires be subjected to reason, and let thy reason be corrected by religion. Weigh thyself by thy own balances, and trust not the voice of wild opinion; observe thyself as thy greatest enemy, so shall thou become thy greatest friend.
