Est magnificum quod te ab omni contagione vitiorum reprimis ac revocas, sed magnificentius quod tuos; quanto enim magis arduum est alio praestare quam se, tanto laudabilius quod, cum ipse sis optimus, omnes circa te similes tui fecisti.
Splendid though it is to keep yourself thus unspotted by any form of vice, it is even more so to do the same for the members of your family, for the more difficult it is to vouch for others rather than one-self, the more honour is due to you for combining your own excellence with making all those around you reach the same high standard.
