That man who never assumeth a haughty mien, who never censureth others praising himself the while, and never addresseth harsh words to others forgetting himself, is ever loved by all. He who raketh not up old hostilities, who behaveth neither arrogantly nor with too much humility, and who even when distressed never committeth an improper act, is considered by respectable men a person of good conduct.

In plain words: Vidura says people love someone who is not proud, does not criticise others while praising himself, and does not lose control and speak harshly. A person of good conduct does not dig up old fights, is neither arrogant nor too humble, and does not do wrong even when in trouble.
