Chapter 8: At the start one is advised not to quarrel with a
rich or powerful man: his money may weigh more than yours. 
And gold has ruined many, even kings.

V.17 advises against giving a secret to a fool - he will
not keep it. And not only fools, but many ordinary people are
poor at keeping secrets.
