Above All Things, Respect Yourself.

So Tutor Youth That The Sins Of Age Be Not Imputed To Thee.

Oh, My Fellow Men, Do Not Defile Your Bodies With Sinful Foods. We Have Corn, We Have Apples Bending Down The Branches With Their Weight, And Grapes Swelling On The Vines. There Are Sweet-flavored Herbs, And Vegetables Which Can Be Cooked And Softened Over The Fire, Nor Are You Denied Milk Or Thyme-scented Honey. The Earth Affords A Lavish Supply Of Riches, Of Innocent Foods, And Offers You Banquets That Involve No Bloodshed Or Slaughter; Only Beasts Satisfy Their Hunger With Flesh, And Not Even All Of Those, Because Horses, Cattle, And Sheep Live On Grass.

It Is Difficult To Walk At One And The Same Time Many Paths Of Life.

There Is No Word Or Action But Has Its Echo In Eternity.

Choose Always The Way That Seems The Best, However Rough It May Be; Custom Will Soon Render It Easy And Agreeable.
