Educate The Children And It Won't Be

If There Be Light, Then There Is Darkness; If Cold, Heat; If Height, Depth; If Solid, Fluid; If Hard, Soft; If Rough, Smooth; If Calm, Tempest; If Prosperity, Adversity; If Life, Death.

Know That Death Comes To Everyone, And That Wealth Will Sometimes Be Acquired, Sometimes Lost. Whatever Griefs Mortals Suffer By Divine Chance, Whatever Destiny You Have, Endure It And Do Not Complain. But It Is Right To Improve It As Much As You Can, And Remember This: Fate Does Not Give Very Many Of These Griefs To Good People.

Before All, Be Real. Only The Truth Gives To The Word The Orpheus' Lyre Power.

Rest Satisfied With Doing Well, And Leave Others To Talk Of You As They Please.

Speak Not Nor Act Before Thou Hast Reflected.
