Translation 1You don't have to be just a pigeon. Combine the shyness of the dove with the cunning of the snake! The business man is easily deceived: he who does not lie to anyone, believes everyone; he who does not deceive trusts others. Deceit makes victims not only among fools, but also among honest ones. Two kinds of people can foresee and thwart a deception: the deceived, who have learned on their own skin, and the cunning, who pretend. Let shrewdness be as sharp and suspicious as cunning is skillful in intrigues, and you must not be so gentle as to push your neighbor to hypocrisy. By combining the dove and the snake, you do not become a monster, but a miracle worker.
