The Empire of Russia

CHAPTER IV
17/45

Be a father to the orphans, the protectors of widows, and never permit the powerful to oppress the weak.

Never take the name of God in vain, and never violate your oath.

Do not envy the triumph of the wicked, or the success of the impious; but abstain from everything that is wrong.
Banish from your hearts all the suggestions of pride, and remember that we are all perishable--to-day full of life, to-morrow in the tomb.

Regard with horror, falsehood, intemperance and impurity--vices equally dangerous to the body and to the soul.

Treat aged men with the same respect with which you would treat your parents, and love all men as your brothers.
"When you make a journey in your provinces, do not suffer the members of your suite to inflict the least injury upon the inhabitants.
