If you're asked: What is the silence? Respond: It is the first stone of the Wisdom's temple.
The earth affords a lavish supply of richess 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.
Above all have respect for yourself.
Be silent or let thy words be worth more than silence.
Time is the soul of this world.
A stranger, if just, is not only to be preferred before a countryman, but a kinsman.
