________________
Keep not the company of the wicked and beware of them, for they are sweet at first acquaintance.
And be not angry when smitten, nor fly into rage when abused. Endure everything with a placid mind and make no great noise.
Desire not things which are fine but exert thyself and be on thy feet. Be not careless in thy conduct and bear thy hardship with equanimity.
Cold and heat, flies and gnats, feelings pleasant and unpleasant and diseases will attack this body ; bear all these unflinchingly and thus shake off the filth previously acquired.
