Paradox

The gods who kills men live in men, If it was then, it is not new again. Bad roads are the best route Tears are good meat, eat enough. Your wisdom was knowledge from another’s folly It is sweeter when it is old, The taste of gall is meant for kings Poison is the meat of men of faith. There is joy in earth’s Hell, There are pains in earth’s Heaven The fruit of the Garden, The size of God The wave of the sea Are the mysteries of eternity. "I am wise" is a fool. "I am a fool" is on the path of wisdom The poor man was once the friend of the rich, when a young man keeps his gaze on ageing women, He will not marry. would you see madness? Go to the market. would you learn wisdom? Go to the grave. sin makes men older than their age, Righteousness makes a man like babies
