These again are the marks of a wise man, viz., adherence to acts, worthy of praise and rejection of what is blamable, faith, and reverence. He whom neither anger nor joy, nor pride, nor false modesty, nor stupefaction, nor vanity, can draw away from the high ends of life, is considered as wise. He whose intended acts, and proposed counsels remain concealed from foes, and whose acts become known only after they have been done, is considered wise.

In plain words: A wise person does what deserves praise, avoids what is shameful, and has faith and respect. Anger, joy, pride, false modesty, confusion, or vanity cannot pull them away from their true goals. They keep their plans private from enemies, so people only learn of their actions after they are done.
