Lust Weakens Both Body And Mind.

As The Sea-crab Swimmeth Always Against The Stream, So Doth Wit Always Against Wisdom.

Number Is The Ruler Of Forms And Ideas, And The Cause Of Gods And Demons.

Oh, My Fellow Men, Do Not Defile Your Bodies With Sinful Foods. We Have Corn, We Have Apples Bending Down The Branches With Their Weight, And Grapes Swelling On The Vines. There Are Sweet-flavored Herbs, And Vegetables Which Can Be Cooked And Softened Over The Fire, Nor Are You Denied Milk Or Thyme-scented Honey. The Earth Affords A Lavish Supply Of Riches, 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.

Consider Before Acting, To Avoid Foolishness: It Is The Worthless Man Who Speaks And Acts Thoughtlessly.
