Neither to son, wife, brother nor friend gives power over yourself during your life. Do not give your property to another in case you regret it and have to beg them to return it.

As long as you live and there is breath in you, do not give power over yourself to anyone. It is preferable for your children to be dependent on you, than that you be obliged to depend on them. Be the master of all that you do; let not others stain your reputation.

Wait until the end of your days, until death is near, to distribute your inheritance.
