Number Was The Substance Of All Things.

Know That Death Comes To Everyone, And That Wealth Will Sometimes Be Acquired, Sometimes Lost. Whatever Griefs Mortals Suffer By Divine Chance, Whatever Destiny You Have, Endure It And Do Not Complain. But It Is Right To Improve It As Much As You Can, And Remember This: Fate Does Not Give Very Many Of These Griefs To Good People.

A Fool Is Known By His Speech; And A Wise Man By Silence.

None Can Be Free Who Is A Slave To, And Ruled By, His Passions.

Number Is The Ruler Of Forms And Ideas, And The Cause Of Gods And Daemons.

Animals Share With Us The Privilege Of Having A Soul.
