Have you been chosen to preside a party? Don’t give yourself airs! Just be like everyone else in the group; see to their needs and then sit down. When you have done what you should do, take your place and enjoy yourself with the others. They will congratulate you for a job well done.

If you are older, speak as be fits your age, but know what you are talking about and do not interrupt the music.

If there is a concert, refrain from speaking; it is not the right time for playing the wise man. A musical concert at a wine banquet is like a ruby set in gold. As an emerald signet set in a work of gold, so is the music with good wine.

If you are young, speak if you have to, but not more than twice and only if requested. Keep to the point and say it all in a few words. Show that you are well informed but not over-anxious to speak.

Do not try to equal of eminent people and do not chat when someone else is speaking.

As lightning goes before thunder, the reputation of a modest man goes before him.

Leave the party at the right time and do not be slow about it; no lingering, go straight home!

There you may relax and do as you please, but do not sin by bragging. And thank your Creator for the enjoyment of all good things.
