But build upon it: make it the foundation for other loving deeds, and thus the love between you shall never be overcome.

The man who takes thought for his brother cares for his own self.

For who but a brother can win glory from a brother's greatness?
Who can be honoured as a brother can through a brother's power?
Or who so safe from injury as the brother of the great?
[16] Let no one, Tanaoxares, be more eager than yourself to obey your brother and support him: to no one can his triumph or his danger come so near.

Ask yourself from whom you could win a richer reward for any kindness.

Who could give you stouter help in return for your own support?
And where is coldness so ugly as between brothers?
Or where is reverence so beautiful?
And remember, Cambyses, only the brother who holds pre-eminence in a brother's heart can be safe from the jealousy of the world.
