When the great lord passes, the wise peasant bows deeply and farts silently.

—Ethiopian proverb 🤎

“Indulgence promises ease,
yet demands payment in strength.
Each concession to excess
diminishes the capacity for resistance.
Thus the pleasure of the moment
becomes the weakness of tomorrow.”

—Philo

“Attention is the gatekeeper of the soul.
Whatever it admits repeatedly
becomes a resident.
Therefore the mind must learn to choose
what it attends to,
for attention shapes affection,
and affection directs action.”

Philo

"Memory of error humbles the soul
and protects it from arrogance.
For he who remembers his fall
guards himself more carefully in ascent.”

—Philo
