Derekh Eretz1088 / 1258
הוי דן את חבירך לכף זכות. ואל תכריעהו לכף חובה. הוי שש בחלקך. והתנאה במיעוטך. ואל תשנא את המוכיחך. יהי חלקך מבורך לעולם. עין טובה ונפש שביעה:
Judge your fellow in the scale of merit and do not turn the scale against him. Rejoice in your lot and enjoy the little you have. Hate not him who reproves you. Your lot will always be blessed if you possess a bountiful eye and a contented soul.
Tractate Derekh Eretz Zuta 3:2 · The Minor Tractates of the Talmud, trans. A. Cohen, London: Soncino Press, 1965
