Time Is The Soul Of This World.

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

Declining From The Public Ways, Walk In Unfrequented Paths.

It Is Difficult To Walk At One And The Same Time Many Paths Of Life.

We Ought So To Behave To One Another As To Avoid Making Enemies Of Our Friends, And At The Same Time To Make Friends Of Our Enemies.

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.
