(KARTILLA)
 I. L ife which is not consecrated to a lofty and sacred cause is like a tree without a
shadow, if not a poisonous weed.
 II. A good deed that springs from a desire for personal profit and not from a desire
to do good is not kindness.
 III. True greatness consists in being charitable, in loving one’s fellow-men and in
adjusting every movement, deed and word to true Reason.
 IV. All men are equal, be the color of their skin black or white. One may be superior
to another in knowledge, wealth and beauty, but cannot be superior in being.
 V. He who is noble prefers honor to personal gains; he who is mean prefers personal
profit to honor.
 VI. T o a man with a sense of shame, his word is inviolate.
 VII. Don’t fritter away time; lost riches .may be recovered, but time lost will, never
come again.
 VIII. Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor.
 IX. A n intelligent man is he who is cautious in speech and knows how to keep the
secrets that must be guarded.
 X. In the thorny path of life, man is the guide of his wife and children; if he who
guides moves toward evil, they who are guided likewise move toward evil.
 XI. Think not of woman as a thing merely to while away time with, but as a helper
and partner in the hardships of life. Respect her in her weakness, and remember the
mother who brought you into this world and who cared for you in your childhood.
 XII. What you do not want done to your wife, daughter and sister, do not do to the
wife, daughter and sister of another.
 XIII. T he nobility of a man does not consist in being a king, nor in the highness of the
nose and the whiteness of the skin, nor in being a priest representing God, nor in
the exalted position on this earth, but pure and truly noble is he who, though born
in the woods, is possessed of an upright cha¬ racter; who is true to his words; who
has dignity and honor; who does not oppress and does not help those who oppress;
who knows how to look after and love the land of his birth.

is love of one’s fellow-men.

 IV. All your good wishes will be crowned with success if you have serenity,
constancy, reason, and faith in your acts and endeavor.
