“If you are mighty and powerful, then gain respect through knowledge and through your gentleness of speech. Don’t order things except as it is fitting. The one who provokes others gets into trouble. Don’t be haughty lest you be humbled. But also, don’t be mute lest you be chided.”
― Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

“They who have received some portion of God’s gift, these, if judged by their deeds, have from death’s bond won their release; for they embrace in their own Mind, all things, things on the earth, things in the heaven, and things above the heaven - if there be aught. They who do not understand, because they possess the aid of reason only and not Mind, are ignorant wherefore they have come into being and whereby, like irrational creatures, their makeup is in their feelings and their impulses, they fail in all appreciation of things which really are worth contemplation. These center all their thought upon the pleasures of the body and its appetites.”
― Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

“Evil as well as good, both operate to advance the Great Plan.” “To have peace there must be strife; both are part of the structure of the world and requirements”
― Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

“Be industrious, let thine eyes be open, lest you become a beggar, for the man that is idle cometh not to honor.”
