Though your actions be vigorous, friend, they must not be hasty, severe, or arbitrary. Be sure to carefully consider all the circumstances. In the case of a serious disruption of relations or events, you must forgive, but not forget -- at least until a person has made reparation for his mistakes. If punishment is necessary, make certain that it fits the crime. When rules have become slack and useless, only through the institution of clear and swift penalties can their effectiveness be restored.
In situations where serious issues of justice are at stake, keep careful records, and do not hesitate to go public with the truth.
