Words of Wisdom
I respect the wise for their wisdom, and in their wisdom you will find respect
Sit with the wise and with the elders, avert all those who are despicable
Accompany those whose acts are righteous and know that it is wise to avoid the ignoble
Do good, for good deeds are saviours, from all the bad you may encounter in life
Stay far away from all that is futile and evil, as far as the East furthers the West
Do not be unjust to people when judging and make sure that your verdict is fair
Do not follow the whims of those who are corrupted, for the path of corruption is ever so dark
Envy is a fire that consumes the body and hatred is as fatal as poison can be
Do not extend your hand to those who are envious or evil, evade those with sickness in their heart
