Punctuality is one of the cardinal virtues. Always insist on it in your subordinates and dependents.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Punctuality is announced as a cardinal virtue, but the instruction is to demand it from subordinates and dependents. Read as satire, the emphasis makes the principle conveniently one-sided. The speaker's lofty praise of a virtue ends as a rule to impose on other people.
