The warrior who goes off to battle should not boast as the one who returns from it.

Those who boast of their decent, brag on what they owe to others.

If you have to boast about what you do for a living to attract attention, attraction or approval, then you’re seeking the wrong kind of people for it has nothing to do with who you are and everything to do with what you do. Is that the kind of people you want? The ones who are more attracted to your status than you?

Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.

Don't we take pride even in being humble!

You wear your honor like a suit of armor... You think it keeps you safe, but all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.
