When The Wise Man Opens His Mouth,

Do Not Even Think Of Doing What Ought Not To Be Done.

Reason Is Immortal, All Else Mortal.

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.

Begin Thus From The First Act, And Proceed; And, In Conclusion, At The Ill Which Thou Hast Done, Be Troubled, And Rejoice For The Good.

Truth Is To Be Sought With A Mind Purified From The Passions Of The Body. Having Overcome Evil Things, Thou Shalt Experience The Union Of The Union Mortal Divinity With The Mortal Man.
