Do not boast of any advantage
that belongs to someone else.
If a horse said with pride,
"I am beautiful,"
this would be tolerable;
but you, when you say with pride,
"I have a beautiful horse,"
know that you are boasting
of an advantage that belongs to the horse,
What then is yours?
The use you make of your ideas.
