Take this to heart: You must gain control of your habits;
First over stomach, then sleep, and then luxury, and anger.
What brings you shame, do not do unto others, nor by yourself.
The highest of duties is honor od self.
Let justice be practiced in words as in deeds;
Then make the habit, never inconsiderately to act;
Neither forget that death is appointed to all;
That possessions here gladly gathered, here must be left.
Pythagoras, 570 - 495 BCE
