Respectability of Birth + 

Rectitude and a sense of shame come by nature only to men who are born of a good family. + 

Men of family fall not from three things, namely, correct conduct, truth, and a sense of shame. + 

Four are the attributes of the true gentleman: a smiling face, a liberal hand, sweetness of speech, and condescension. + 

Men of family would not tarnish their name even for the sake of tens of millions. + 

Behold the men of ancient family: they give not up their liberality even when their means of munificence are diminished. + 

Behold the men who are anxious to keep pure the honourable traditions of their family: they will never take to deceit nor descend to ignoble deeds. + 

The fault of a man of noble family will show conspicuously even as the spot in the body of the moon. + 

If rudeness of speech showeth itself in a man coming of a good family, people would even suspect the legitimacy of his descent. + 

The nature of a soil is known by the seedling that groweth therein: even so is the family of a man known by the words that come out of his mouth. + 

If thou desire virtue, thou must cultivate the sense of shame: and if thou want to honour thy family, thou must be respectful unto all. + 
