If anyone should want to know my name, I am called Leah. And I spend all my time weaving garlands of flowers with my fair hands, t o please me when I stand before the mirror; my sister Rachel sits all the day long before her own, and never moves away. She loves to contemplate her lovely eyes; I love to use my hands to adorn myself: her joy is in reflection, mine in act.

He who awaits the call, but sees the need, Already sets his spirit to refuse it.

O mortal men, be wary of how ye judge.

There, pride, avarice, and envy are the tongues men know and heed, a Babel of depsair

He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.

…all things created have an order in themselves, and this begets the form that lets the universe resemble God.

One ought to be afraid of nothing other then things possessed of power to do us harm, but things innoucuous need not be feared.
