Great Throughts Treasury

"Serve God, that He may do the like for you."

"Do what is right to endure on earth, calm the weeper, do not oppress the widow, do not expel a man from the property of his father, do not damage the officials on their seats of office. beware punishing wrongfully, do not kill: it is no use to you. punish with beatings with imprisonment. the land will be well-founded by that except for the rebel whose plots are discovered. the god is aware of the disaffected, and the god calls in the dues in blood. the merciful lifetime. do not kill a man if you are aware of his talents, with whom you used to chant writings. read from the inventory upon god. stride freely in the secret place. the soul returns to the place it has known, it does not stray from its ways of yesterday. no words of power can repel it, arriving to those who supply its water. the tribunal that judge the wretch, you knew that they are not merciful, that day of judging the miserable, the hour of carrying out the task. an accuser with knowledge is hard. do not rely on the length of years: they see a lifetime as an hour. they are the remainder after death; his faults are placed beside him in heaps, and being there is indeed eternity. anyone who make complaint over it is a fool. anyone who reaches them without committing crimes, he will exist there like a god, distinguished like the lords for eternity."

"Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered."
