He who eateth frugally after dividing the food amongst his dependants, who sleepeth little after working much, and who, when solicited giveth away even unto his foes, hath his soul under control, and calamities always keep themselves aloof from him. He whose counsels are well-kept and well-carried out into practice, and whose acts in consequence thereof are never known by others to injure men, succeedeth in securing even his most trifling objects.

In plain words: Vidura says someone who eats simply after sharing food with those he supports, sleeps little and works hard, and gives even to enemies who ask, has self-control, and trouble stays away from him. A person who keeps his plans private, carries them out well, and never harms others with them achieves even his smallest goals.
