We Ought Not To Quit Our Post

As The Sea-crab Swimmeth Always Against The Stream, So Doth Wit Always Against Wisdom.

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.

Write In The Sand The Flaws Of Your Friend.

Friends Are As Companions On A Journey, Who Ought To Aid Each Other To Persevere In The Road To A Happier Life.

Respect Gods Before Demigods, Heroes Before Men, And First Among Men Your Parents; But Respect Yourself Most Of All.
