"The flatterer chooses the side of advantage.
The honest person chooses the side of truth, even when it comes at a high cost."

Miserable is the one who, like a starving dog, crawls at the feet of the powerful, licking their boots in exchange for the crumbs that fall from their tables.
Behold how he writhes, changing opinions faster than Proteus shifts his form, always eager to agree with those who can grant him favors, for his soul is up for sale at the lowest price in the marketplace of vanity!
What greater stain can mark a man than to desert honesty, abandoning it like a coward forsaking his post, merely to bask in the false fire of popularity and the favors of the infamous?
The just and the wise look with contempt upon those who, instead of standing tall in the integrity of character, choose to wallow in the mud of flattery, trading their dignity for fleeting advantages.
And you, who still hold some nobility in your soul, remember this: it is better to eat dry bread at the table of honesty than to feast on delicacies in the house of falsehood, for the price of truth, no matter how high it seems, is always less than the cost of dishonor.
