 506. Beware of trusting men that have no kindred : for their hearts will be without attachment and they will be callous to shame.

507. If thou choose a fool for thy confidential adviser because that thou lovest him, he will lead thee to endless follies.

508. Behold the man that trusteth another without trying him : he createth endless evils even unto his posterity.

509. Trust not a man without trying him : and after trying your men, give each of them the work for which he is fit.

510. To trust a man whom thou hast not tried and to suspect a man whom thou hast found worthy lead alike to endless ills.
