Above All Things, Respect Yourself.

He Who Knoweth Not What He Ought To Know, Is A Brute Beast Among Men; He That Knoweth No More Than He Hath Need Of, Is A Man Among Brute Beasts; And He That Knoweth All That May Be Known, Is As A God Among Men.

Those Alone Are Dear To Divinity Who Are Hostile To Injustice.

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

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.

As Soon As Laws Are Necessary For Men, They Are No Longer Fit For Freedom.
