Before all, be real. Only the truth gives to the word the Orpheus' Lyre power.

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.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths.

It is only necessary to make war with five things; with the maladies of the body, the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city and the discords of families.

Number is the within of all things.
