But Respect Yourself Most Of All.

There Are Men And Gods, And Beings Like Pythagoras.

Know Thyself And Thou Wilt Know The Universe.

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.

Hate And Fear Breed A Poison In The Blood, Which If Continued, Affects Eyes, Ears, Nose And The Organs Of Digestion. Therefore, It Is Not Wise To Hear And Remember The Unkind Things Others Might Say About You.

No Man Is Free Who Cannot Control Himself.
