Surely, that which is between me and my father’s relatives and between myself and my uncle’s relatives is quite different.

If they violate my honor, I will protect their honor.

If they destroy my reputation, I will build their reputation.

And I will never bear any old grudge for them,
For the patron of a people never bears ill will.

—A wise man
