Some Fruits of Solitude By William Penn (1682) Part 16: Caution and Conduct, Reparation, Conversation, Eloquence, Temper,  Truth, Justice, and Secrecy (118-148)

Bonus: 

Sorry, ladies. The Tick has a wife, and her name is Justice.

Summary: Hey, remember these?

Commentary: 

118-120: Just be chill with people you meet.

119: Apologize, don't make excuses. (Someday, people will learn all the stuff in these 400+year old books. Until then, we'll recycle the same 12 things for self help books.)

128: Don't waste your time talking to people if you don't have a reason.

131: "If thou thinkest twice, before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it." We got a regular Ben Franklin over here.

142: Even if you're right, you just make your cause look bad if you're a hot head.

145: Don't believe, or spread, rumors.
