Refrain from brandishing the whip of condemnation over the aspects of another person’s life.

Forget the bitterness of ingratitude in the defense of your own peace.

Don’t attempt to remake radically the experience of your fellow man under the pretext of helping him.

Remove the conditions of life and objects of personal use capable of being adapted to indirect humiliation.

Refrain from classifying the less fortunate as condemned to the fatality of suffering.

Do not expect understanding and reflection from an empty stomach.

Good naturedly accept the small favors with which someone endeavors to repay you for the marks of fraternity and simple remembrances.

Be lavish in attentions to the friend undergoing great trial by destroying apparent barriers that may arise between him and you.

Maintain a constant atmosphere of confidence and cheerfulness when in contact with your fellow men.

Do not refuse to bestow affection, communicability and gentleness, in the certainty that violence is irreconcilable with the blessing of sympathy.

Be prompt in your engagements and never show impatience or irritation.

Dispense with intermediaries in the simpler tasks and do what you have promised.

Maintain unfailing gentleness everywhere with all men.

Remember that aid includes kindness and humility, simplicity and solidarity, since felicity and comfort are not only in the one who gives and in the one who receives but also security and felicity in the path of all.
