A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness.

Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.

-Sutta-nipata, translated by H.

Hmm, I'm mostly truthful, not arrogant, slanderous, hateful or miserly.

But I am greedy, damn it. And full of desires! And probably excited by what is old, depending on what he means. And ok, sometimes deceitful.
