When invited by a man of influence, keep your distance; then he
will urge you all the more. Be not bold with him lest you be rebuffed, but keep
not too far away lest you be forgotten. Engage not freely in discussion with
him, trust not his many words; for by prolonged talk he will test you, and
though smiling he will probe you. Mercilessly he will make of you a laughing
stock, and will not refrain from injury or chains. Be on your guard and take
care never to accompany me of violence. Every living thing loves its own kind,
every man a man like himself. Every being is drawn to its own kind; with his
own kind every man associates.
