He who never boastfully striveth to attain the three objects of human pursuit, who when asked, telleth the truth, who quarreleth not even for the sake of friends, and who never becometh angry though slighted, is reckoned as wise. He who beareth not malice towards others but is kind to all, who being weak disputeth not with others, who speaketh not arrogantly, and forgeteth a quarrel, is praised everywhere.

In plain words: Vidura says a wise person does not chase goals by showing off, tells the truth when asked, does not quarrel even for friends' sake, and does not get angry when insulted. Someone who holds no grudges, is kind to everyone, does not argue when weak, does not speak arrogantly, and forgets a quarrel is praised everywhere.
