"As a camel beareth labor, and heat, and hunger, and thirst, through deserts of sand, and fainteth not; so the fortitude of a man shall sustain him through all perils."
Akhenaton
"As a rock on the seashore he standeth firm,
and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. He raiseth his head like a tower on a hill, and the arrows of fortune drop at his feet. In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart sustaineth him; and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out."
Akhenaton.
"As the whirlwind in its fury teareth up trees, and deformeth the face of nature, or as an
earthquake in its convulsions overturneth whole cities; so the rage of an angry man throweth mischief around him."
Akhenaton
"Hear the words of prudence, give heed unto
her counsels, and store them in thine heart;
her maxims are universal, and all the virtues
lean upon her; she is the guide and the
mistress of human life."
Akhenaton
"If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be
generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto
another."
Akhenaton
"Labour not after riches first, and think thou
afterwards wilt enjoy them. He who neglecteth the present moment, throweth away all that he hath. As the arrow passeth through the heart, while the warrior knew not that it was coming; so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it."
Akhenaton
"Put a bridle on thy tongue; set a guard before thy lips, lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace... On much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety."
Akhenaton
"Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any
dishonest or unworthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success."
Akhenaton
"The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow
doth he cast; even so the greater is the
goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet
cannot avoid its rewards in honours."
Akhenaton
"Why seeketh thou revenge, O man! with what purpose is it that thou pursuest it? Thinkest thou to pain thine adversary by it? Know that thou thyself feelest its greatest torments."
Akhenaton
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake."
- Victor Hugo
