The Instructions of Ptah-Hotep
Live Joyfully and Cause No Strife
Let your face be bright what time you lives. That which goes into the storehouse must come out therefrom ; and bread is to be shared.
He that is grasping in entertainment shall himself have an empty belly; he that causes strife comes himself to sorrow. Take not such an one for your companion.
It is a man's kindly acts that are remembered of him in the years after his life.
