Epiphanies

[1] A government that taxes its citizens is incompetent; a competent government attracts all the resources it needs to sustain itself, without having to force its citizens to support it through their work.

[2] A just and righteous judge pardons those who commit iniquity without realizing it, and, who upon discovering they have done wrong, are filled with guilt and regret; but a vindictive judge condemns those who commit iniquity, regardless of whether they were aware of what they were doing or not, and regardless of whether or not they felt remorse upon discovering the truth.

[3] A disloyal woman who expects love and then gets angry when she does not find it is like an idiot farmer who refuses to plant the seeds but still expects to produce a crop, and then gets angry when he has nothing to plow come harvest time; even the unlearned will say: “You fool! First plant the damn seeds!”

[4] Those who approach love as commanders approach war are but dogs chasing after their own tails, or fools trying to catch the wind.

[5] The only reason people seek after multiple partners, and to its extent, is to compensate for the degree to which they secretly feel unloved and unworthy; but those who feel most loved and worthy seek after but one.

[6] Wise are those who seek first after knowledge and understanding, for love and prosperity shall also be added unto them, and in exact relation to the stock of the resulting wisdom; but foolish are those who chase after money and sex as a substitute for the pursuit of knowledge, for poverty and loneliness shall surely come to be their closed ally.

[7] The wicked love to bestow great honors on those who practice evildoing, that they may be encouraged to continue in their follies; they also love to punish those who do good, that the righteous might turn from what is right and true and be converted into workers of iniquity. For the wicked feel foolish, unless those surrounding them act as stupid as they do.

[8] The ignorant man tries to win the love of his beloved by showering her with luxuries and pleasures, which, if she accepts them, work a penalty against her; but the wise man simply loves her to the inclusion of no other, and then there is no dissatisfaction left in her heart. Only in this way may he become her champion.

[9] Those who seek to put a wedge between their king and his queen destroy nations and peoples, and take peace and prosperity from them; for the state of the relationship between a king and queen is reflected in their entire kingdom.

[10] Only a man who rules over himself is fit to rule over others; otherwise he will oppress rather than serve.

[11] The advent of the Kingdom of God is like waiting to wed the noblest and fairest of maidens; it is both frustratingly painstaking, and yet gloriously exciting at the same time!

[12] There is no greater ecstasy than direct communion with God; if even the most debauched heathen had but a small taste of its bliss, he would instantly seek to abandon the pleasures of the flesh and the love of money, glory and power, and commit himself to vanquishing these evils forevermore.

[13] He who knows and understands the causes and effects of the natural laws can predict the future as surely as the sun rises: wise men give him their ears that they may not fall into calamity, but that they may prosper; but fools deride him, and scoff at his every word; thus, they are rewarded for their deafness and stupidity with the fruits of their transgressions.

[14] The man who masters the focus and direction of his attention masters the use and function of his body, and the man who masters his body masters his environment; nothing is accepted within it without his consent.

[15] The fool who today confesses his foolishness is tomorrow’s wise man: for who would willingly continue to live in his follies after becoming aware of how they harm him?

[16] Those who envy the strong or wise man his abilities prevent themselves from developing that which he possesses within themselves, for what is possible for one is possible for all.

[17] The wicked seek for themselves that which the righteous seek for others.

[18] The prideful woman boasts in her many suitors; but the humble woman simply smiles, because she knows she is truly loved.

[19] A man only becomes great when even the worst injustice may be inflicted upon him and yet he has the power to refrain from reacting to it in anger and retaliation; for it is a sure sign that he has already succeeded in completely mastering himself.

[20] The wicked use the proverbs of scripture to justify and excuse the practice of their own cruelty and injustice, but the righteous recognize that when punishments are spoken of, they are but natural consequences of the law, and that they come upon transgressors without men having to make of themselves judges and executioners.

[21] When a wise man offends his neighbor and his neighbor becomes cross with him, he holds his tongue and listens to his neighbor’s rage with an understanding ear, for he knows that he deserves the contempt he is receiving.

[22] The ignorant blame those whom they offend for getting upset with them, for they lack the awareness to see and acknowledge that the fault lay first with themselves.

[23] The wicked mistake wrong for right and right for wrong; they are delusional, and their delusions are as a noose that slowly tightens around their necks.

[24] The wisest of men will be the first to admit that his stock of knowledge and the length of his understanding are as a grain of sand on a long stretch of beach; but the most foolish is he who boasts that he has fully cured his own ignorance.

[25] The proud consider themselves teachers, that they may be exalted in the eyes of others; but the humble consider themselves students, that they may be exalted within themselves.

[26] Out of injured pride comes forth life’s greatest lessons; a horse must be broken before a rider may mount and command it.

[27] The man who truly knows himself often finds that he knows others better than they know themselves, for he understands why they do what they do while they often remain ignorant to their own motives.

[28] Sometimes the best way to become truly convicted in what is right is to first experience the penalties of that which must always follow what is wrong.

[29] Continual study of the works of the learned and wise, constant observation of their revelations made manifest on the stage of life, and solemn meditation in the aforementioned pair is the way by which hopeless paupers may turn themselves into enduring kings.

[30] The belief that there is no right and wrong is in itself wrong.

[31] Isolation and deprivation force a man to reflect, and in his reflection he comes to discover that which is denied to those who merely eat, drink, and make merry.

[32] The depth of a man’s sorrow will later become the exact height of his ecstasy, if he but thirst after righteousness and seek all that is good and true.

[33] Kings that endure are those who seek to serve the people, instead of using the people to serve themselves.

[34] World peace is only possible when everyone refrains from causing others to feel that which they do not wish to feel.

[35] The husband who seeks to satisfy his wife, not that he may gain her approval to validate his manhood (for how does that serve her), but so that her soul knows no dissatisfaction is the man who will not go without love and favor.

[36] The man who truly loves humanity is the one who treats his enemies with the same respect and courtesy as he does his truest and most loyal friends.

[37] The LORD uses the wicked to discipline His servants when they commit iniquity, that they may repent and correct themselves; He also uses the evil works of the wicked to test and refine those of His servants who are already exalted in their righteousness, that they may be made known and further prepared to receive their just reward.

[38] Those born of woman are made subject to those born not of the womb.

[39] People are most willing to serve those who serve them best.

[41] The greatest of men perform even the lowest of tasks, if they be necessary; but the lowliest of men, in their arrogance and haughtiness, demand others do it for them, that they may gloat over their servant’s reluctant and resentful obedience.

[42] Truth is as a bright light that dispels the darkness of lies and deceit; for in darkness people stumble and come to injury, but in the light their path is made known to them and no blemish comes to mark their skin.

[43] A good king establishes his kingdom for the glory of his people; but a wretched king establishes his kingdom for the glory of himself.

[44] The lusty and deceitful admonish men to be chaste, so that by their abstinence the former’s pleasure of the flesh may be better indulged in.

[45] A proverb is but a revelation of which seed bears what fruit.

[46] Fools love to condemn most in others that which they fail to see is most prevalent in themselves.

[47] When a foolish man is rebuked for his faults and errors, he fumbles to present any flimsy evidence he can find that may justify himself in clinging to his foolishness, rather than seeking to confront and remove it.

[48] Wicked kings deceive the people into accepting their evil designs by presenting them in such a way as to appear to benefit the people; but when the truth reveals the true intents and purposes of such vile schemes, the people finally realize it comes to their chagrin instead.

[49] People of wisdom place their trust in a righteous king, even when they do not understand the reasons for his actions and instructions; for they know that his wisdom extends far beyond their own, and that everything he does is not for his own benefit but for theirs.

[50] Ignorant men waste their efforts attempting to add things to themselves in hopes of becoming worthy of woman’s love, when all they need do is subtract the thoughts that prevent them from receiving it.

[51] He who becomes wise often first partakes in much foolishness, for often only in this way does he discover the penalties of his errors and thus the reasons for why his follies and foibles require correction.

[52] The hallmark of a wise man is that he knows what he knows and also knows what he knows not; but a foolish man thinks he knows everything and, in this, confines his knowledge to a small portion.

[53] Only when a bride has made herself ready does her bridegroom come.

[54] Nobody but fools punish themselves to punish others, for not one jot and tittle of good comes of it, to either the fool or their victims.

[55] If a husband but even thinks of another woman with desire, he has wronged his wife, and his marriage will suffer for his having harbored that secret thought.

[56] Just as joy is found in the delight of the LORD, so is happiness found in the delight of a virtuous and loyal spouse.

[57] Adhering to the means-whereby, with a thirst for righteousness as its motive, is the most practical way by which the chains of sin may be broken and shattered.

[58] When the secret evils of the wicked are revealed, instead of admitting their iniquities and correcting them, they seek vengeance by punishing those who make their sins known.

[59] To those who have conformed themselves to the moral law, and have observed the affairs of men through its lens, all proverbs become self-evident.

[60] What a man cannot refuse is his master, and he its slave.

[61] Wisdom is useless without humility.

[62] After a righteous man comes to expect unfairness and injustice from the wicked, it no longer stirs his wrath.

[63] When a man becomes too familiar with his sin, he often loses the capacity to recognize it as wrong; thus, he seeks to deny its immorality and excuse and justify its practice.

[64] A foolish woman attempts to force love by arousing jealousy; thus, she fails to find what she seeks, and her suitors’ unrequited love turns to wrath and vengeance against her life.

[65] The intellectually vain study to think themselves learned; but the learned study to remove their ignorance.

[66] The ignorant seek to mask symptoms; the learned seek to remove their causes.

[67] A foolish wife fakes her husband’s pleasure, and thus trains him to be unsatisfactory to her; for why would he stop doing that which he thinks is pleasing to her?

[68] Love surfaces to the degree to which the desire to control one another vanishes; mastery over sin makes this condition manifest.

[69] A wife who takes not her husband’s seed into her mouth is a disappointment to him, just as is a husband who refuses to drink his wife’s juice is to her.

[70] A sincere apology is made not of mere words but in refraining to do in the future that which injured in the past.

[71] Fools waste time in pleasure; but the wise invest it in the pursuit of knowledge and the development of talent, that they may better serve others.

[72] A selfish, jealous lover turns into a wild beast who will destroy his beloved when it is made clear he cannot keep her; but as long as hope remains, he will wag his tail whenever she comes round.

[73] To the puritan healthy sexual practices appear to be shameful and abominable, but to the libertine they seem dull and boring.

[74] Backsides were made for defecation, and nothing else; those who use it otherwise sin against their own lives.

[75] What’s good for a righteous king is also good for his people.

[76] The way of a wicked king is simple: he oppresses the people through deception, and when his schemes are revealed and the people object to his injustice, he punishes them for their protests; thus, he earns their contempt and hatred.

[77] The seducer and seductress become such as a result of a broken heart; their conquests are as a sling around a broken arm that never heals.

[78] Wise is he indeed who rejects the advances of a boisterous woman, for should he submit to her charms, it will bring much trouble and distress into his life.

[79] A husband whose highest aim is the fulfillment of his wife’s needs finds his needs also met; but those who place their needs above their spouse’s soon finds both go unsatisfied.

[80] He who keeps a record of wrongs lives in the past, and thus his future will become a replica of it; but if he abandon that record and instead thinks on the means whereby harmony may abide, his future will come to reflect those thoughts instead.

[81] A deceptive person with a secret to hide will reveal unnecessary information in hopes of removing any doubt before it arises; but in so doing, he only succeeds at arousing suspicion, and thereby betrays his attempt to conceal the truth.

[82] To please his wife, a husband must first cultivate the capacity to be aware of what she thinks and how she feels in response to everything he says and does.

[83] The limit of drink is before that boundary where those things shamefully done would not be so if sober.

[84] He who looks at what everyone else is doing and follows suit often falls off a cliff; a flock without a shepherd comes to ruin.

[85] Until a man sees the shame in his ways, he will not change them; therefore, he who desires change must seek out his own shame – else he is at the mercy of others revelations of it.

[86] He who states the obvious in hopes of garnering praise arouses contempt; but he who reveals an unknown truth for their edification earns for himself honor among them.

[87] How wise is a man who fails to follow his own wisdom; therefore, it is wiser to ask for humility than it is for wisdom, for the latter may corrupt what the former cannot shatter.

[88] Rejection from a righteous king is far worse than a thousand bee stings; those who receive it have justly earned it.

[89] A man who puts his own pleasure above his wife and children cannot rightly be called a man, for as a slave unto himself a servant unto them can he not be.

[90] Love without loyalty is dead.

[91] Those who hate money envy those who have it, but those who love it lust for the power they think it gives them over others; therefore, desire money but be indifferent to its coming and going.

[92] A woman only initiates with a man she gives not a damn about, for if she truly cared she wouldn’t risk rejection.

[93] The prideful revile at rebuke, but the humble bow their heads.

[94] Fools justify their sin because their insecurity outweighs their ability to admit they could be wrong.

[95] A person who approaches their beloved as a conquest to be subjugated practices hatred, not love.

[96] A jealous love is nothing but an obsession; it is selfish and considers not the best interests of the beloved.

[97] Self-righteous are those who seek revenge against the indignation of those whom they’ve provoked or offended.

[98] A man is remembered not for who he once was but for who he became.

[99] The greatness of a man is measured by his sacrifice to others.

[100] Heap coals of kindness on a prideful and boastful man who attempts to subject you and he will scoff at your seeming weakness; but judge him righteously and he will not only see his shame but also respect you.

[101] Jealousy and lust are the enemies of love; patience and kindness are its emissaries.

[102] Talent may take a lifetime to develop but then it may be called upon at a moment’s notice.

[103] It is pleasure to think and joy to form thoughts into words.

[104] Uncover the shame of a fool, and he will curse you; but do so of the wise, and he will give you gratitude.

[105] A king who sees his position as an obligation rather than a privilege is the one who will best serve the people.

[106] Forced morality is itself immoral; he who executes a murderer becomes one.

[107] Better a little wisdom fully followed than a lot unheeded.

[108] A coward makes for a false friend; he flatters with his lips and even gives gifts, but then he strikes the back of the head when it is turned away.

[109] Selfish are those who expect that which they are unwilling to give in return; an unfaithful woman who demands loyalty is filled with doublespeak.

[110] Contrite is he not who fears the wages of sin instead of the rewards of righteousness.

[111] A king serves his kingdom, but a queen serves her husband; she either makes or breaks him, and he in turn either makes or breaks their kingdom.

[112] A husband and wife are each others’ possessions: they belong one to another; therefore, an adulterer gives away what is not his to give, and a fornicator takes that which belongs to another – he is a thief of the flesh, and in his wife’s debt.

[113] The bolder a man becomes in the truth, the greater grows the desire of the wicked to silence him.

[114] He who is always loyal in his acts and always honest in his words makes for a true friend; but he who is neither will be false: he is an enemy in disguise, for his heart is filled with selfishness, and he will seek to conceal it with lies and deceit.

[115] A person who lets their body deny or defy their heart throws their life into chaos, strife and distress; peace and poise are granted only to those who subject their flesh to their heart.

[116] A contentious wife manipulates her husband’s emotions to motivate him to do what she wants; thus, he resents her for it. But a good wife serves her husband in all things and he then eagerly does what she wants with joy and loving-kindness.

[117] Man’s greatest error is intimidation; woman’s, manipulation.

[118] Call a coward a coward, and he will deny it every time; for if he does not, he is already on the sure path to manhood.

[119] A man who speaks of truth, righteousness and justice in the congregation of the wicked is not only deprived of his honest reward, he is crucified for it.

[120] A husband’s lingum belongs to his wife, and her yanni belongs to him; in marriage, each is given, one to the other, until death do them part. Those who violate this law are thieves and traitors of the flesh.

[121] When wisdom is melded with simplicity, wonder ensues.

[122] World peace begins not with harmony between nations but fidelity between husbands and wives; therefore, an adulterer who preaches peace is a hypocrite and a fraud.

[123] A husband and wife who welcome an intruder into their bed is like freezing water in a cracked stone; it will be split apart.

[124] Unreceived compensation for service rendered is repaid with compound interest, just as short-changing masters are taxed on their thefts.

[125] A slave-owner guarantees his own bankruptcy; for when his slaves are freed, the debt-collector comes calling, and then how shall he pay?

[126] He who observes the affects of his thoughts upon his behavior, and his behavior upon his circumstances, soon becomes the master of his life.

[127] Cursed is the man who steals from his brother’s bag of gold in secret, then considers himself charitable by giving back one bronze coin in public.

[128] More deaf are those who hear but do not understand than those who hear not a single word.

[129] What is said with little and without sacrificing its meaning is that which is most accurately told.

[130] Traitors soon find the person they have betrayed most are themselves.

[131] To evade any suspicion of guilt, hypocrites publicly condemn the very things they do in private.

[132] When wonderment becomes familiar it seems ordinary.

[133] He who places his trust quickly often has it betrayed.

[134] The intellectually vain preach what little knowledge they have in the company of the learned, and yet know not that they consider him a fool and a fraud; only the ignorant listen, and the fool falsely believes this justifies his superior intelligence.

[135] In their indolence, fools scoff at that which they do not understand; but the wise investigate the unknown before drawing conclusions.

[136] He who can have many yet chooses and commits to but one demonstrates true love; but fornicators and adulterers betray its habitation.

[137] The great sign of compassion is the capacity to forgive even the worst of wrongs.

[138] Anger and revenge are the rotten fruits produced from the seed of disappointment; sympathy and forgiveness are its good fruits.

[139] It is better to have none than even one unfit.

[140] To respond to injury with forgiveness instead of wrath is to become divine.

[141] Penitent is he not who plans his plea for absolution before he even commits the offense.

[142] Due to the desire of men to cling to what is familiar, the truth is often offensive.

[143] Pleasure becomes burdensome when often indulged; but joy and happiness increase the further prolonged in.

[144] A woman who believes she deserves not love will punish those who try to give it, lest her belief be proven false.

[145] The boy who seeks his manhood in women fails to recognize it resides within himself.

[146] A wife loves most a husband who remains poised in the midst of her chaos.

[150] In his journey from ideal to its realization, every man is bound to fall into some hypocrisy; only fools remain in it while the wise pass over onto the other side.

[151] Everything that causes bodily ill is wrong; thus, when the body goes amiss it attempts to reveal a vile cause in need of correction.

[152] A promiscuous woman is desired by many but respected by none.

[153] Compassion is the result of the recognition that those who do evil are but slaves to their own sin; therefore, why add more injury to their self-affliction?

[154] The husband who anticipates and satisfies his wife’s needs before she even recognizes them goes not without love and favor.

[155] What is beautiful in wedlock is despicable out of it.

[156] A town often preserves in a man that which a city corrupts.

[157] A wife who commits adultery is as painful to her husband as if he fell in love with another woman is to her.

[158] When a husband and wife no longer bear one another’s sins, a perfect love relation is obtained.

[159] Authenticity cannot be mimicked; it must be developed from within, not engineered from without.

[160] Those who know not their true place come to shame and ruin.

[161] A man who idolizes his wife receives as his reward her contempt, for even she knows she is unworthy of such high praise.

[162] He who would be happy values a loyal and honest wife far above riches, honor, youth and pleasure.

[163] A good king questions and instructs in place of commands, for do not men revere their own choice?

[164] Until a person changes how they do what they do, they will not truly change what they do.

[165] The righteous only want power over themselves; the wicked, over others.

[166] Cursed are those who fail to acknowledge their indebtedness, for the longer and deeper their denial, the greater their debt increases.

[167] The pinnacle of morality is the foundation of happiness.

[168] The measure of a man’s humility is in relation to the speed to which he can admit his faults and errors.

[169] Accursed is the woman who rewards a boy as if he were a man, for he then falsely believes he deserves that which he receives and loses his desire to grow into manhood.

[170] There is nothing to polygamy but lusty vanity and conceit; many partners is false evidence of moral ascendency.

[171] A man who proclaims his title to inspire cooperation soon loses both.

[172] Those who approach love as a game ensure their loss, but those who seek in it a mutually loyal union both win.

[173] It requires desire and persistence to attain a thing, but to retain that thing once possessed, an adherence to the law must be effectively observed; if it is not, the thing acquired will be lost.

[174] All obstacles melt to those who believe; nothing can come between desire mixed with persistence and an adherence to the law. Time is but the only variable, which demands patience.

[175] Fools seek attention through abominable displays to compensate for rejection and to hide their loneliness; but wise men endure loneliness and learn from the circumstances that led to it.

[176] Ignoramuses rage when their arguments are revealed to be but masks by which to conceal their ignorance of their ignorance.

[177] Foolish are those who mistake attention for love, for contempt and loneliness are their rewards.

[178] A good king rewards the confession of a penitent sinner, for he knows their courage outweighed their shame; but a bad king punishes all sin, and thus increases it, for who will admit their iniquities when it bears a penalty?

[179] The best gift is the one which daily reminds the receiver of the giver.

[180] Only after a person has sought after knowledge, wisdom and understanding are they prepared to receive true love; for without these, they know not the conditions upon which its foundation rests.

[181] The measure of a man is found not so much in what he does as in what he refrains from doing.

[182] A jealous man will belittle his beloved before his competition, hoping they will perceive little value in her and pass by, so that he may claim her for himself; but his insults only succeed at winning her contempt.

[183] A scorned woman is like a tornado; her wake is made of destruction.

[184] Whatever is hurtful to a spouse is a crime against love.

[185] Fools attempt to display knowledge to appear wise, because they court and covet praise; but a wise man recognizes the increase of knowledge but only furthers his awareness of the boundaries of his own ignorance.

[186] As a man treats others, so do they tend to treat him; what he gives, he often receives.

[187] Better is a peasant with love than a king without it.

[188] Wrath is a response to pain; therefore, the greatness and length of it is in exact relation to the size of the wound opened.

[189] Cursed are the guilty who blame the innocent for their own crimes; the man who curses the person he assailed for bleeding on him is an idiot.

[190] When a people come to govern themselves, they no longer require a government over them.

[191] He who lacks control over himself overcompensates for this weakness by trying to control others.

[193] When the wicked deprive the people of freedom and the latter seek to exercise their liberty in rebellion, the former respond by adding even more limitations.

[194] No one rightfully deserves to demand in a spouse that which they do not first have to offer in return.

[195] When they know they are favored, the self-abased harm themselves to hurt those who love them.

[196] Point out a proud man’s wicked ways, and instead of acknowledging and changing them, he will become hostile, refute them and retaliate.

[197] Disputes go unresolved because of the ignorance or unwillingness of those involved to hold themselves accountable for who instigated and who retaliated, then confess their roles in the disagreement to make peace and reconcile.

[198] Loving each other is the greatest boon a husband and wife can give their children.

[199] He who courts praise hates reproof and correction; but he who loves them is praised.

[201] A wretched servant will seek to conceal his shortcomings by proclaiming only his virtues.

[202] Serenity comes to him who prays for and blesses those who persecute him.

[203] Longstanding deprivation leads to great gratitude for the boons when later bestowed.

[204] The longevity of an unfulfilled desire not only increases patience to the exact degree, but also the extent of gratitude for the thing once finally acquired.

[205] A wise man remembers not the shame of past mistakes after they have led the way to correction.

[206] A leader who has not first followed is a fraction as influential as he could be; for even in following a poor leader does he learn what makes a good one.

[207] A peasant’s acquaintances often envy and despise him when he later shows himself to be a king; for they secretly thought themselves superior to him, only to discover they were wrong.

[208] What the wicked are willing to do to one, they are capable of doing to all.

[209] Those who glorify fornication and adultery demonstrate they are not much more evolved than the animal.

[210] A person justifies their ignorance or unwillingness to change by proclaiming: “I do it; therefore, it cannot be wrong!” or “I do it not; therefore, it must be wrong!”

[211] A person who thinks on limitations soon realizes them.

[212] He who argues the highest issue holds the citadel and guards the keep of truth; but those who argue it with logic and mere opinion lose their foothold.

[213] A scoffer laughs at the truth because he is either too stupid or stubborn to understand it, or he envies the person who discovered it before he did, and he wishes the praise and honor received belonged to himself.

[214] Critics love to tear others down because they are too afraid to build themselves up; they are destined for a lifetime of mediocrity.

[215] A mocker makes sport of the person from whose lips pour forth words he is too self-righteous or intolerant to accept.

[216] A woman who fornicates with a man will later commit adultery against him.

[217] He who gets defensive in the face of criticism leaves himself at the mercy of his adversaries.

[218] Seduction only works on vain and conceited people.

[219] As a man grows in the capacity to evaluate his own character, so he increases his discernment of those of others.

[220] He who continually meditates on the motives behind peoples’ behavior increases his understanding, and therefore his powers of influence.

[221] He who loves righteousness is ever vigilant in examining himself and his own motives.

[222] The fraud prospers only so long as the wise man remains silent or absent.

[223] A person’s freedoms end where others’ rights begin.

[224] Wicked is he who seduces the wives of others and scoffs and gloats over the cuckolds he has made as if it were something praiseworthy: for how great is a man who strikes his brother without cause, and then laughs and mocks him when he cries out in pain?

[225] The wicked praise what is shameful and abominable as if it were something to be revered.

[226] Only when a man corrects his faults instead of justifying them to himself can he realize his full potential.

[227] The wicked take offense at being called thus, because they are too ignorant or stubborn to see themselves as they truly are.

[228] A man is wise who refuses to listen to the criticism of those who envy and hate him, for they will further not the awareness of himself but only work to deceive him of his true character and talent.

[229] A good father often disciplines his son harshly in the beginning to heighten his tolerance for rebuke, so that later he may be reproved lightly and then be willing to listen and obey.

[230] A people who make themselves wise and righteous exalt their nation; but stupidity and wickedness bring it to ruin.

[231] The man who recognizes that rebuke and discipline are often required before his development may commence or continue, learns to love them; for he knows that when he receives them, he is about to grow in ways he does not yet understand.

[232] A good father disciplines his son for his son’s benefits, that he may walk in the paths of righteousness and come to profit; but a bad father does so that he may be served and satisfy his desire for power over others.

[233] A foolish man who commits adultery with another’s wife boasts that he is more favored than her husband; he is consumed with vanity and conceit, and his shame and ruin are not long before him.

[572] Man’s greatest affliction is that he prefers to rage against his faults being made known to him rather than using those revelations to accept and correct them.

[573] True liberty is found in controlling our sinful nature.

[574] The honest religionist seeks to turn his beliefs into truths founded on facts.

[576] The righteous contribute to the people what the wicked try to take from them.

[577] Wisdom mourns the youth of latter days; youth, it yearns for wisdom.

[580] Only the man who is grateful with a little deserves much.

[581] When a people crave knowledge and wisdom, their evil kings are soon replaced by righteous ones, and when every citizen becomes righteous under their instruction and guidance, nations no longer have a need for kings.

[582] A fool seeks to discredit the man he envies.

[583] A man cannot be cheated; for every loss there is a gain, which is often in the form of wisdom he and others may profit from.

[584] Blessed is the man who sets a high moral standard for his conduct; the day comes when he lives up to it.

[585] The boy who learns to remain untriggered by criticism and rejection becomes a man.

[589] The pinnacle of masculinity is wisdom; of femininity, loving-kindness

[590] To harbor no ill will or ill fortune against those who have wronged you produces the state of mind God is eager to commune with.

[591] A moral society seeks to reform its criminals and transform them into useful citizens who want to repay their debt, instead of locking them up and punishing them for their past faults and mistakes.

[592] The foolish and ignorant justify their own crimes by using those who have wronged them as their scapegoat; but retaliation makes a man just as guilty as those who instigate.

[593] The arrogant man denies, excuses or justifies his crimes; but the humble man admits them and seeks to make recompense.

[598] Those who deny they have a sinful nature remain slaves it.

[599] The righteous take no offense to slights and insults, but forgive the iniquities of their brothers and sisters against them; but the wicked hold grudges and seek revenge, and to retaliate to up the score.

[600] A man who rages when his doctrine is questioned is full of folly.

[601] A wise man determines what he wishes his ideal lifestyle to be, then he thinks upon how he can best serve his fellow man to the degree necessary that will entitle him to the monetary compensation that will support it.

[602] The man who refuses to forgive others their sins against him will not be forgiven his own sins against others.

[616] The wicked love to hide their evil in plain sight.

[617] The strong man is the one who can take the most abuse from life and not crumble underneath it completely.

[618] Weak men think it makes them feel superior if they can persecute the ones they envy.

[619] A concubine who expands a great king’s lineage is blessed!

[620] To understand God is to transcend the use of logic and reason.

[621] Celebrity fornication is an exchange of the lust for sex for the conceit of bragging rights.

[622] Much better than being desired by many is the love of the soulmate.

[623] The man who knows has no need for beliefs.

[627] The man who only sees the nobility in his fellow man is himself noble.

[628] Adversity is required to shape character and bring wisdom.

[629] It is the weak man who thinks exercising control over others is what makes him strong.

[630] A woman who fornicates with one man to spite and arouse jealousy in another is a wretch.

[631] A wise man always rejects any woman who seeks to seduce him; if a lady’s interested, she waits for him to pursue and court her, while she simply signals to him her receptiveness.

[632] If torn between the loyalty of a friend and a love interest, and if in conflict, a man will almost always choose the latter.

[633] The greater the trial and tribulation, the greater the lessons that then lead to greater soul evolution.

[634] As a man serves others, so do they come to serve him.

[635] To think on virtue leads to becoming virtuous.

[636] The tyrant seeks to induce cooperation by threat of punishment, which only guarantees resistance against him.

[637] The difference between criticism and rebuke is the former tears down while the latter is an invitation for repentance and correction.

[638] The false teacher rages when his fallacious doctrines are exposed and seeks revenge against the one he thinks brought him to shame and ruin, when it was only himself.

[639] Blessed is the woman who weds a husband she wants to submit to; such as these are the only ones who find harmony and happiness in marriage, free from conflict and misery.

[654] The man who cares about being the alpha male is not.

[655] The man who studies the best becomes his best.

[656] The muscles a man contracts when he speaks are the same that tend to tense in the listener; and those in them released when the speaker’s voice is free.

[657] A wicked king only acts righteous when it wins him the praise and approval of the masses, for he is motivated by selfishness; but when he no longer receives such blessings, his true evil is revealed with great wrath and vengeance against them.

[657] A righteous king is so even if it wins him the contempt of the world.

[658] A man and woman demonstrate and pledge their capacity for trustworthiness to one another by waiting till their wedding bed.

[659] The heightened measure of the mark and impact a man leaves upon the world is in direct proportion to the love he feels for a woman; if fornicators and adulterers were enlightened in such a manner as this, they would realize through their follies they are killing off their capacity to experience this, the greatest of all blessings under heaven, and, in relation to the extent of their wisdom, immediately change their path toward committing to abstinence until they marry a loyal woman, so that their high tolerance for lust reverts back to normal, increasing once again their capacity to love and bond with a single woman.

[660] True friendship is only ever possible when both friends have dreams, both believe in each others’, and one is as happy for the other realizing theirs in the same way they would be had their own been manifested.

[661] A domineering mother develops a stutter in her child.

[662] Altruism is learning from our suffering, and using the wisdom gained from that pain to prevent others from sharing in it.

[663] Man’s deepest desire is to appear great in the eyes of the woman he loves; therefore, a wise woman uses this power she exercises over him to the benefit of the multitudes.

[664] A child conceived and born in wedlock is greatly blessed.

[665] An unforgiving father makes liars of his children, for they come to fear the arousal of his temper at their confessions of honest or stupid mistakes.

[666] The fool who lacks control over himself seeks it over others.

[667] The great virtue of patience is cultivated in a man in direct relation to the persecution inflicted upon him; but his enemies remain ignorant to the service they render him by forcing him to build strength of character, a blessing they will never know themselves.

[668] The greatest bestowment of forgiveness fosters the greatest of allegiances; a rapist with remorse earns for himself the same blessings his crimes wrought for himself against others, if he be but penitent and suffer the consequences as repayment, which is excruciating physical torment: then it is all forgotten, forever.

[669] Men who become resentful when their errors and mistakes are made known and pridefully and indignantly justify their position, make for false friends.

[670] The great man’s powers of influence came from the imagination of God.

[671] Until a man has first learnt to sing well controlled and quietly, he has not yet earned the right to sing aloud and publicly.

[672] A man’s capacity to inhibit his sins is the direct measure by which harmony will abide in his every relation, and the height of the love his kinship will have for him.

[673] The greatest sin of any society is that it honors its ignorant, and despises its wise.

[674] The greatness of a civilization is in relation to the height to which it esteems its women’s counsel.

[675] A great love is born when a woman comes to love a man more than she does her father, and her man comes to love her more than he does his mother.

[677] A man who makes a prayer answered and is aware of it still answers it through divine guidance in through their introduction and cooperation.

[678] A loving daughter perceives her father’s disapproval as a gentle reprimand to correct her ways, and lo! She does!

[679] Knowing scoundrels love to steal great ideas and profit from them themselves, the wise man creates plans that if stolen and replicated would do the world a great service in spite of the thefts; he puts God in his debt, whom shall repay with compound interest.

[680] A great husband induces his wife’s mind to be submissive to his will without giving commands or otherwise being domineering.

[681] The man who ogles a woman imagines fornicating with her as he looks; but the man admiring beauty makes no such images.

[682] A foolish woman’s measure of success with love is by how many suitors she can make jealous; but a wise woman knows it’s to commit to one man she knows will never betray or forsake her.

[683] Cursed is the man who blames and shames the victim.

[684] A feminist can never find true love because her doctrines and precepts are the very obstacles that prevent its habitation.

[685] The extent of the rage is often commensurate with the size of the wound opened.

[686] The perfect marriage is wrought out when both husband and wife admit and confess their transgressions against one another and both forgive each other when trespassed against, and seek to refrain from repeating those offenses.

[687] The wise woman seeks to trigger positive emotions in one man; the foolish woman, negative emotions in a multitude.

[688] A man only becomes a man when he ceases to act like a victim, even when he is one; instead, he cries the pain into exile.

[689] When equality defies identity, problems arise.

[690] A wise wife doesn’t meddle in her husband’s ways and affairs; but a wise husband requests her counsel concerning them.

[691] A great wife inspires her husband to want to correct his faults and she also brings out his hidden talents.

[692] A suitor’s role is to have a dream in life he’s pursuing; a damsel’s role is to find a man who’s dream she believes in and resonates with, and wants to work with him in realizing.

[693] A wise critic praises merits before he points out shortcomings.

[694] More important than what a man does is that which he doesn’t.

[695] The greatest battle a man can win is to conquer his desire to curse and revile and damn those who torment and persecute him.

[696] A wonderful father invests himself in being a champion for his children’s dreams; but a wretched father is ignorant to what they even are.

[697] Gratitude blesses the giver.

[698] A man who threatens when enraged is seldom sincere; he just feels powerless over the situation.

[699] A wise man abstains until he’s married, and he finds a wise woman who does the same, and then they never stray.

[700] Bragging is a desperate and repulsive plea for praise and approval that goes unbidden except by the recipients of ignorance and foolishness.

[701] Remorse wins forgiveness.

[702] The epitome of cowardice is the man who betrays his own mate to sleep with another’s.

[703] A real man always takes responsibility for the faults of his woman; if she goes wrong, he considers it his fault for failing her.

[704] A wise man never sleeps with a woman he doesn’t first love, and if he loves her, why doesn’t he marry her first?

[705] A mistake is only a badge of shame when it fails to set a man right.

[706] Accursed is the man who is accused of something he is guilty of but refuses to acknowledge it.

[707] A feminine loyal wife must be wooed and won!

[708] Convincing a kind, wise and loyal woman to marry him where he offers her the same blessings in return brings out the very best in a man.

[709] An envious teacher comes to resent a pupil who later excels him.

[710] The man who makes something of himself is often hated by those who didn’t.

[711] The secret to a man’s heart is found in listening to his dreams, believing in them, and encouraging and aiding him in their realization; such a woman will not go without his love and favor.

[712] The desire for control over others decimates the foundation upon which their love would have otherwise been won.

[713] A man cannot believe in others until he first believes in himself.

[714] A man’s true allies are those who give him their ear without ignoring him or making excuses not to hear him, and then without gaslighting him.

[715] Trying to fathom God is like trying to comprehend infinity; if one hurts and baffles the brain, so must the other.

[716] It is the woman who doesn’t encourage her man to realize his dreams and help him with it, who, when he becomes a disappointment to her, is the one at fault.

[717] A great king’s power comes through the cooperative efforts of his loyal subjects; but a hellbound king is damned by forcing the same subjects allegiance through threat of punishment for their disobedience.

[718] A wise wife believes in her husband’s talents and encourages him in realizing his dreams, without doubt; through her guiding, feminine influence, the journey through adversity into final victory together is lived; these events provide her with the romance her heart has craved since she was a little girl with innocent fantasies.

[719] People just want someone to believe in them and see the good they can accomplish in the world; the wise person believes in people.

[720] Sometimes all a wayward man needs is a little sincere encouragement to put him right.

[721] The adversaries to conquering ourselves are our denials, excuses, justifications or blaming something outside ourselves for deflecting our own wrongdoings against others and making them victims; peace and harmony abides not under this practice!

[722] Cowardice is assailing another outside their awareness; cursed is any man who practices such shameful wretchedness!

[723] The wicked punish all protests against their injustices; but the righteous listen to complaints with open, understanding ears.

[724] Men make the world go round, but women make men go round; men rule the world and women rule men.

[725] Cowards sabotage happiness; but heroes overcome their vain afflictions.

[726] A very beautiful woman is corrupted by slaves to their lusts doing favors for her, hoping she fornicates with them; both are cursed.

[727] A man who uses women’s love and favor to validate his manhood is a fraud; a real man needs no woman’s approval to know he is such.

[728] When the fool corrects himself he becomes wise.

[729] Blessed is the wife who selects a husband whose talents she can bring out.

[730] A man best changes the world when he pursues the development of his own moral character; wise witnesses observe the rewards he earns as a result, desire them for themselves, and come to follow his example, lending to a compounded multitude of revolutionaries.

[731] A wise suitor observes how a damsel treats those who serve her; because as she does, so will she one day treat him, to his glory or chagrin.

[732] A wise suitor looks not at how a damsel treats himself, but everybody else.

[733] After we become familiar with someone’s personality and character, their appearance begins to reflect it; sometimes the beautiful become ugly, and the ugly become beautiful, in our mind’s perception at the sight of and anticipation of encountering them again.

[734] A beautiful fornicating woman is like a diamond inside a turd; what man really wants the stench?

[735] What a man thinks of us in any moment is heavily biased by his last experience with us.

[736] The man who has arrived at the firm decision that he will no longer wish ill-will against anyone, for any reason whatsoever, even should he endure severe persecution and injustice and his enemies righteously deserve recompense for it, has succeeded in completely mastering himself; he is an immortal amongst mortals, or so he shall be for a thousand years!

[737] Righteous kings offer the choice of obedience, and hear petitions in opposition; but wicked kings demand it through force and threat of penalty or punishment.

[738] When a damsel tells a suitor a story from her life or makes an observation and he asks himself how it made her feel, he has had an epiphany in making his marriage a happy, successful one.

[739] A man’s humility is measured by the speed to which he can admit his faults and mistakes without defending them; his courage, by his desire to correct them; and his persistence, by his refusal to quit the task until completed.

[740] It is impossible for an immoral person to find true love.

[741] The wisest husband is the one who marries a wife who is wiser than he is; but still, she wants to submit to his leadership.

[742] When a man most craves knowledge and wisdom and grows in it, those who love the power others’ ignorance gives them for their selfish gain persecute him for enlightening their slaves.

[743] The subjects of a nation who find true love are immune to tyrannical governing bodies enslaving them; but a hysteria of fornication and adultery make them easy prey.

[744] There is always hope for the man who regrets and feels remorse for his wrongs against his brothers and sisters; but evildoers who deny any error and persist in their wickedness are truly damned.

[745] Hell is when truth and justice are hidden and deprived of from the masses.

[746] All traitors are eventually reduced to ridicule and hopefully remorse.

[747] Salvation belongs to the man who recognizes he has been wrong, regrets his errors, and seeks to put them right until recompense has been completed.

[748] The two enemies of life are wishing for those who hurt us ill will and ill fortune; but as we wish for others, so do we bring upon ourselves.

[749] All sin impulses that enter the consciousness pull the head down and back.

[750] The man who doesn’t care where he ranks ends up at the top.

[751] A husband makes the decisions; a wife counsels him in them.

[752] A man who truly loves a woman will want to see her live her dreams, even if it’s not with him.

[753] The storytelling experts are misguided in their efforts to expose the truth of life; the greatest stories take it a step further than two-fold: a hero who has those who start off his ally, become his enemy, then become an ally again, and win redemption; and then there are those who are his enemy, become his friend, then return to opposing him. In truth, the more frequent the indecision, the more an entity doubts himself and his abilities to win the battle; entities don’t occisslate when they’re sure of themselves. But confidence, though it mourns and cries, never deviates.

[754] Refraining from food, drink and sex as much as he can puts a prophet most closely in accord with the will of God; but what does the prophet value more: his own personal dreams being realized, or him advancing the betterment of mankind, which is the will of Him who offers approval and affirmation?

[755] A man doubts he’s a man until his father first confirms it; but what if the father never had that initiation happen to himself and is ignorant to that which he is ignorant to and his duty to confer upon his own son?

[756] Righteousness wins rewards and wickedness wins penalties; so what if the masses mistake one for the other for a relatively short time in history, but then recognize the truth lasts forever and ever, and then the kindhearted people are rewarded beyond measure and the arrogant, controlling and greedy people are punished exponentially accordingly!

[757] God punishes most two sins, and all who have partaken in them will yet suffer the recompense for them: to betray a lover, and to betray a friend; to betray a loved one’s trust, faith and confidence in you is to commit the ways of Satan, which is rebellion against God’s plan for humanity’s eternal happiness and contentment.

[758] For a man to desire to hurt his enemies and to do it are very different things; but the man who refrains in thought and act has many blessings coming for an eternity; and his enemies, many persecutions.

[759] The punctual man earns goodwill everywhere he goes; no one likes their time stolen from them.

[760] A king only becomes great when he stops demanding cooperation and starts asking for and winning it.

[761] The man who truly loves a woman will rejoice when she lives her dreams, even if he isn’t a part of them.

[762] To be a man is to perfect strength and correct weakness.

[763]

[764] A wicked king who deprives his subjects of their just reward wins his peoples wrath and revolt; the recognition of unfairness is woven into man’s instincts, and he is disgusted when he witnesses it.

[765] A boy who’s father hasn’t initiated him into manhood suffers three fates: he becomes jealous, and seeks after endless sex instead of true love with his soulmate; he becomes envious, and chases after money that no amount satisfies instead of seeking to render his services and let the compensation take care of itself; he becomes intolerant, and seeks power over others when his efforts should be directed at learning to exercise complete power over himself: such as these never become men, and the women in their lives secretly resent them for it or silently pity them.

[766] The habitually disloyal man soon comes to realize he can no longer trust himself, and what greater penalty is there than that?

[767] A man who trusts in himself wins it from others also.

[768] Losers are more interested in appearing happy and successful to the world, rather than actually being such.

[769] When a fool can’t dispute the message, he attacks the messenger; which just opens the masses ears to it, and in it they put their faith and hope.

[770] The real alpha male’s only competition is defeating today the vile monster he was yesterday; a kind and loving and loyal wife is the greatest asset to him in achieving such an aim.

[771] Celibacy makes a man a genius the masses often fail to understand, such that they ridicule him; but sex with his loyal wife makes that same man a god who wields miraculous powers of influence.

[772] Resistance amidst temptation begets more trust.

[773] The hero is the one who was misguided until a wise mentor came into his life and aided him in helping him find his purpose which will be of tremendous profit to the world, such that our struggling vagabond finally realizes his personal dreams as his reward for his great altruistic efforts and contributions.

[774] A broken heart can become the most loving one because it understands pain and suffering.

[775] A man can’t forgive wrongs against him until they first enrage him, such that through the pain he comes to control the anger and transmute it into a benefit to others: even if it’s just to safeguard them from experiencing the same suffering he endured.

[776] The truth puts to shame and ruin the secret iniquities of evildoers.

[777] Standing up for his rights and freedoms makes a man a man; but forgiving perpetrators who revoke or violate them make him a god.

[778] Cowardice is being friendly to someone’s face, then trying to injure or destroy them behind their back.

[779] True friendship is founded on knowing each others’ dreams and encouraging one another to realize them.

[780] The idle coward cheers and gloats over the strong man when he encounters adversity and failure; thinking it gives him evidence that he’s superior to him; but the strong man persists and finally wins, and then his adversaries hate him for triggering in them feelings of inferiority. Such is the stupidity of a man who refuses to conquer his envy.

[781] The prideful and vain man gets offended and shuns you when you confront him for his wrongs against you.

[782] Most of the world’s problems span from man’s pride and his indignation to recognize his own faults and mistakes, and having no interest to correct them.

[783] The truth is the most powerful weapon against evil, and the bringer of justice.

[784] To partake in evil is to but wish another ill will or ill fortune; righteousness comes to those who refrain from such practices of thought.

[785] The man who believes in his and others dreams cures himself of his envy.

[786] The great man imagines himself possessing his ideal personality and character and living his ideal lifestyle, and he measures himself by his progress and successes in manifesting them; but the foolish man measures himself by how successful he is in attaining all the material things he sees others wanting, hoping to win the approval, admiration and envy of those who wish they had what he has accumulated for himself; his self-worth is founded on the failures of others.

[787] A man who doesn’t tease his wife like she’s a child on a playground deprives her of much joy, love and affection.

[788] A man can tell his friends from his enemies by who believes in his dreams, and who doesn’t.

[789] The battle between good and evil is fought and won with but one weapon: the truth.

[780] Every soul that defies the empire and pays for it with their life becomes one of the Christ’s nobles, who later go on to reign over the world with him in his kingdom for one thousand years, working collectively to prepare the people for the kingdom of bliss where all will see God.

[781] The beta male wants to show his superiority over other men, usually by accumulating riches or becoming a philander of beautiful women or exercising power over others, such that he may, through his conceit, gloat over his brothers for him experiencing blessings he knows they’re missing out on; but the alpha male only wants to show his superiority over the weak man he was in his yesterdays.

 [782] Blessed is the woman who looks at the hero and exclaims: “I want a man like that!” and then she immediately starts remolding herself into the woman such a man would want to marry; she is sure to win and be rewarded for her efforts when the man with an attractive personality, an unbreakable character and with ambitions to give her the world finally shows up to reward her for her loyalty.

[783] A praised and commended service causes the renderer of it to want to perform it to a greater degree.

[784] No one is never not in need of encouragement; give it, and give it in abundance, for you provide the world with its greatest service!

[785] The one who consoles a future king when he’s but a pensive peasant wins many blessings.

[786] The dungeon of remorse leads the way to a tower as ecstatically high as the pain was deep.

[787] Trying and failing reveals our ignorance to what we must learn to later succeed.

[788] Miracles transpire when the doer joins in cooperation with the thinker; wicked governments are overthrown, and reestablished with righteous ones.

[789] A wise and righteous judge sympathizes with the penitent perpetrator; and he encounters opposition for it.

[790] Men who do evil are not always evil; just misguided or they submit to temptations they yet fail to resist.

[791] Problems only arise in the world when the people do not know right from wrong, nor wish to do right.

[792] Heaven would be half way reached if all admitted their wrongs and sought to make them right.

[793] Man’s greatest desire is that he marries a woman who dotes upon him and him alone; his heart craves her honesty and loyalty as much as his lungs do air.

[794] The great man becomes so by studying under and emulating great men until finally he becomes one in his own right.

[795] The alpha male’s self-worth is founded on the successes he can make of other men; the beta male, upon how many failures make him look greater by comparison.

[796] Before he requests it, a man should know he asks for extreme pain and suffering if he asks for wisdom.

[797] Disloyalty triggers rage, which, in righteous offenders, begets remorse at being in the wrong, leading to confession, forgiveness and eventually reconciliation with a new commitment towards reform.

[798] A person who experiences the penalties of their disloyalty often forges themselves into the loyalist ones of them all.

[799] A man only conquers his enemies when he overcomes his hatred for them.

[800] Loving is forgiving wrongs, and hoping it’s met with remorse.

[801] To have no ill will and wish no ill fortune to anyone is to achieve enlightenment; it is to harbor goodwill to all, desiring for them the blessings we crave for ourselves.

[802] A husband fits the role of teacher; therefore, a wise man gains the knowledge and wisdom the wife he would want is interested in being most enlightened on.

[803] The only route to true love is to be remorseful when we wrong our mates and want to make it right with them, and we forgive all of their wrongs against us.

[804] It is better to be alone than with a woman who feels no remorse for how she wrongs a man and has no desire to put it right.

[805] The righteous judge never condemns the remorseful who recognize their indebtedness and who want to balance their debt.

[806] Personality and character in a woman are her greatest assets; from these things comes her future bliss where her soul knows no dissatisfaction.

[807] The greatest shame a man can bring upon himself and his household is to deny and defy his wrongs against his brothers and sisters instead of having the humility to admit them, the courage to seek to put the wrong things right, and the persistence to see the endeavor through to completion.

[808] Every man errs and wrongs others; it is only the humble, courageous and persistent who admit it and seek to put the wrong things right, regardless of if it brings them shame and embarrassment for a finite moment.

[809] Blessed is the man who listens to him whom evil governments bully and persecute; his salvation is secured forevermore.

[810] The man who refuses to admit his wrongs, feels no remorse for them and exhibits no desire to put them right, is damned!

[811] The best vengeance is forgiveness; for it puts those who wronged us in our debt and, if they have a conscience, they will secretly know it.

[812] To forgive the wrong of a penitent sinner produces more devotion in them because they know they have a debt to make up for.

[813] The wise recognize and embrace the truth; the envious and doubtful dispute and seek to discredit it; and the stupid and idiotic ridicule and reject it.

[814] Stupid people are deluded into thinking they’re righteous by advocating for making wickedness something worth acceptance and praise.

[815] The truth doesn’t care who’s so ignorant to it that it offends them.

[816] The fool who is ignorant to the evil he commits is later offended when it is made known to him; but the wise humbly confess and correct themselves.

[817] Rebuke causes reform in the righteous, and hatred in the wicked.

[818] When a man no longer wants those who made him suffer to suffer in return, and he has no desire to be superior to those who made him feel inferior, has he claimed the approval and validation of God.

[819] Equity prevails in a society when the people make themselves righteous.

[820] He is a worm who gloats over others because he has blessings they don’t.

[821] The woman always picks the man, and if she’s wise she picks the one she believes she can bring out the most potential in that it will be of most benefit the world; if she succeeds, her soul is most satisfied. This is the feminine dream.

[822] The measure of a judge is the extend of the forgiveness he can render the wrongdoer, but he is not unrighteous if he condemns those who feel no remorse for their evils.

[823] It is remorse that determines if a man encounters heaven or hell; for all have fallen short.

[824] Knowledge and wisdom fails in comparison to the love of a loyal woman.

[825] The greatest honor is to be emulated by others who then come to benefit themselves and all they encounter as a result.

[826] The truly great man eliminates his desire to shame those who rejoiced in his sufferings by later using his success to gloat over them.

[827] The way of the wicked is to gaslight a man, and then punish him if he protests by speaking of truth and justice.

[828] The wayward woman craves opening wounds in men; but the virtuous woman delights in healing them.

[829] The best revenge is forgiveness: in the remorseful, the work of their conscience over their wrongs against us will bring them shame and guilt and regret and a recognition of their indebtedness to us, and that is penance enough; but those who kill the conscience will be removed from the heavens and the earth forever.

[830] When the people thirst for knowledge, wisdom and understanding, a land becomes righteous and just.

[831] Selfish and greedy kings make laws to steal from the produce of the peoples’ labors; such thieves are too weak, lazy and incompetent to make their own money, by first serving others and thus entitling them to such compensation.

[832] The idiot ridicules the truth because he is too stupid to understand it; the prideful angrily opposes it because it reveals his faults and mistakes; and the wise accepts it because he knows it brings him peace and happiness.

[833] Only the fool devotes himself to making others unhappy, because this is exactly the thing that is preventing him from curing himself of his own misery.

[834] Happiness comes from seeking to contribute to the happiness of others through service; misery, from committing crimes that withhold or prevent them from finding it.

[835] The woman who seduces a man with no intention of being a champion for with his dreams to benefit his fellow man demoralizes a civilization.

[836] Those who would find true love must first begin by mastering their sinful nature; then the mate who has also done the same will put in their appearance to form the perfect harmonic relation.

[837] The ideal husband is the one who learns how he triggers silent negative reactions in his wife’s mind and trains himself to stop the behaviors that cause them; such a man brings perfect love and harmony into his marriage.

[838] He who would become great and change the world refrains from sex with any woman he doesn’t first love, and he knows she loves him.

[839] Exceedingly wise and blessed is the woman who denies sex to any man who’s dreams she doesn’t first believe in and want to be his helper in manifesting; such as these are the only women who find true love and true happiness in this life, and are the ones to truly change the world.

[840] Our love is real when it reforms our wicked ways because we feel ashamed that they hurt the ones we love most.

[841] Reconciliation starts when we take the initiative to right the ones we’ve wronged; sometimes our remorse triggers the same in them and they confess their wrongs against us too, and then, when both have forgiven and been forgiven, what once was a string becomes a rope.

[842] Where there is love in a transgressor, their remorse over past wrongs induces them to recognize their indebtedness to their victim and causes them to want to balance it; this is evidence of being a person after God’s own heart.

[843] No man has the right to rebuke what he hasn’t already mastered in himself.

[844] When a man doubts his manhood, he seeks to prove it to others, hoping to verify it to himself based on their acceptance and approval, and their praise and admiration.

[845] The man who has to prove his manhood has not yet found it.

[846] If it’s hidden, it’s known to be wrong.

[847] Betrayal is the beginning of wisdom.

[848] Any ill word or deed that triggers a negative thought in a spouse is a crime against love; in that moment, they have made their minds antagonistic to one another’s.

[849] True love only results when soulmates stop speaking or acting in any way that triggers a silent hurtful or resentful response in the other’s mind; the exemplification of morality by both husband and wife makes this condition manifest.

[850] Promiscuity turns men who should have been friends into enemies; then they become competitive with each other rather than cooperative.

[851] Ignorance is not knowing and not doing that which will make a man happy and content.

[852] True love cannot exist where the desire to punish each others’ wrongs does.

[853] A king can only serve his people to the degree to which his queen serves him; the kingdom depends upon her devotion to him.

[854] He is an utter fool who lets a woman use him as a tool to punish the man she really loves for hurting her.

[855] The strength and glory of a civilization is dependent upon the loyalty of its women.

[856] The best teachers of righteousness are the ones who know the penalties of wickedness.

[857] A wicked government’s greatest fear is that the people will find true love in their marriages; it would make them impossible to subjugate and oppress.

[858] It is foolish to punish those who criticize and reject us instead of doing that which would win us their praise and acceptance in the first place.

[859] True love remembers no wrongs: if a husband or wife says, “But I did this because you did that!” they are keeping a record, and true love will continue to elude them.

[860] The path to exemlparship is two-fold: it is training ourselves to refrain from even thinking about giving expression to our sins, such that we no longer wrong and hurt anyone; and learning to inhibit the instinctive negative response from being triggered in ourselves when we are the recipient of others wrongs against us, checking the urge to return evil for evil from entering the consciousness.

[861] Man’s conscience is the heart of God.

[862] No man will change his ways until he first admits the shame in them.

[863] The way of the wicked is to persecute the philosopher as soon as they can find him.

[864] It is not the ones with the most wrongs which are most wretched, but the ones who have no desire to make them right.

[865] The man who fails to dominate himself seeks to dominate others.

[866] It is not until a man admits he’s wrong that he can start putting himself right.

[867] Recognizing the penalties of error brings wisdom.

[868] Using the body the way God designed it saturates the consciousness with joy.

[869] Peace and harmony is only possible when we become aware of the often unconscious ways we trigger others and train ourselves to stop; and we resist the urge to trigger others to punish them when they trigger us until the reaction ceases to fire in the consciousness.

[870] Immortals have the eternal appearance of the early twenties.

[871] The greatest crime a man can commit is to fail to recognize his soulmate when she is well aware of it.

[872] The difference between the damned and those who receive salvation is a reflection of if they’ve safeguarded their conscience or killed it.

[873] A government that prohibits its citizens from righting their wrongs is the wickedest one of them all.

[874] Rage results from being wronged; sorrow, from suffering loss; and hell on earth is when they’re the same thing.

[875] Righteous indignation is expressed wrath against a wrong; selfish anger, rage at the penalties that always follow having wronged another.

[876] True love is only produced when a husband and wife have both come to refrain from acting and treating each other in any way that causes a hurtful or resentful response in the other, whether silently harbored or outwardly expressed; when all negative behaviors that trigger such have been overcome by both, the perfect marriage results.

[877] It is a fool’s game to divorce love and sex.

[878] A good man who can’t find a loving, loyal wife goes crazy.

[879] The man who finally conquers his desire to injure those who injure him wins the approval of Yahweh.

[880] An apology followed by a justification for the transgression makes forgiveness resistant to it.

[881] Only the man who admits his foolishness can become wise; for to deny it is to remain a fool.

[882] The wicked king punishes all protests against his injustices instead of amending his evils; thus, he wins the contempt and opposition of those he reigns over.

[883] The conceited, power-hungry woman gloats over the men whose advances she rejects; she subscribes to a fallacious method to build her self-esteem.

[884] The greatest power of influence is a freed vocal mechanism.

[885] Chastity is a pledge that a person will later be loyal and trustworthy to their spouse when they finally marry.

[886] He who is afraid to get it wrong never gets it right; for success is founded upon the lessons of past defeats.

[887] To the man who perseveres, the extent of the struggle will be commensurate with the resulting strength of character and wisdom fostered.

[888] Compassion comes with the recognition that most men lack conscious control over themselves and their sins; they think, speak and act out of seemingly irresistible blind habit, which arouses pity and sorrow in us, acknowledging it’s to their confirmed detriment.

[889] A man cannot truly understand another’s pain unless he has first suffered it himself.

[890] The beloved wife is the one who consoles a crying husband when he suffers loss and calms his rage when he is wronged.

[891] Indoctrination is amoral: it results in the masses realizing their own dreams, or working to realize the government’s.

[892] The man who is others’ champion becomes theirs.

[893] The greatest victory over self is to feel no resentment when our follies and foibles are made known to us; instead, we rejoice in their revelations, knowing we may now amend them to our profit.

[894] The king who requests the counsel of his queen puts his kingdom right; he thinks from the brain, but she feels from the heart.

[895] Blessed is the woman who cringes at the thought of murdering her own children.

[896] The great man becomes such because he craves righteousness more than he does sex.

[897] We want our transgressors to admit their offenses hurt us and witness them feel remorse for the suffering they caused us; such expressions as these are the truthful, penitent apologies worthy of forgiveness.

[898] To falter is human; but to know it’s wrong and seek to resist it is to know God.

[899] The most courageous battle a man can win is to see his own faults and mistakes for what they are, instead of defending them to himself and others.

[900] It isn’t true love if it isn’t loyal; for loyalty is the foundation of the blessed relation.

[901] The man with the most resonant, projected voice will naturally emerge the leader in any interaction, and all will instinctively know it.

[902] Man’s unconscious manners in which he triggers others is the reason most of the world’s disputes start; his erroneous desire to retrigger his transgressor is the reason for most of them continuing.

[903] The traitor will present evidence for his loyalty before it’s even doubted.

[904] For a man to see and correct his foibles and follies is for him to grow in stature and wisdom; it is nothing more, and it never will be.

[905] A harmonious marriage becomes a friendly competition to see who can better serve the other, not a battle for who’s rule wins.

[906] A great lover doesn’t pursue the attainment of an object of desire, but an ever-unfolding harmonious, loving dynamic with them.

[908] A loving father makes his children’s top interests his own.

[909] Fools mistake different roles for inequality.

[910] The great leader never seeks to fit in; instead, he induces others to fit in with him, because he shows them how their cooperation will profit themselves and others.

[911] The woman who seeks to rule over her man sabotages the true love her heart craves; for it can only be found when she first wants to and then she does submit to his headship.

[912] Better than being highly desired is being truly loved.

[913] Ability is but a capacity freed to function as it was designed to.

[914] A great lover makes their beloved’s needs their top priority.

[915] To try to control a woman and dictate her conduct is the epitome of objectifying her.

[916] As man does unto others, he brings onto himself.

[917] The route to true happiness is to find true love, and then let acts of altruism blossom forth from that harmonious union.

[918] Contentment comes when a man and his wife decide the lifestyle they wish to live free from envious competition, and then they commit to rendering an equivalent service required to support it.

[919] The benefit of error is the certain knowledge of why the acts and their consequences are to be avoided, such that the resulting wisdom may be conveyed to others without them having to err themselves.

[920] A true religion is but the instructions by which a vision of how people should relate themselves to one another harmoniously may be manifested.

[921] A husband cannot provide his wife with the true love her heart craves unless he first makes himself both humble and wise.

[922] A husband must first go up and forward if he wants his wife to be free, and for their children to then follow the same direction.

[923] The art of friendship is finding out another’s state of affairs and staying current with them, and revealing ours to them.

[924] Women who transform men into religionists’ become as goddesses in the pages of history.

[925] The desire for power over others is freedom’s greatest adversary.

[925] A new identity precedes all change.

[926] There can be no wisdom without humility.

[927] Flattery seeks selfish reciprocated desire or approval; but a sincere compliment affirms another’s value in the world: what they have or could yet contribute.

[928] There is a difference between a wife rebuking her husband for a fault that triggers hurt and pain in her, and those disguised as ploys to usurp his headship.

[929] The feminist doctrine and precepts are designed to succeed at one thing: usurping the headship away from the husband; but this is to destroy a foundation stone that would otherwise support the structure of true love in her marriage.

[930] It is only the weak man who considers it a defeat to recognize or accept his faults and errors, and he then ignores them so he might continue in his follies; but learning from such embarrassment and failure is exactly what makes a righteous man become strong, for he grows in increased blamelessness and wisdom as a result of enduring every trial and adversity.

[931] The cunning and deceitful will convince a person they’re in a prison, when their idea of salvation from it is the real prison.

[932] Love can only surface in relation to the degree to which the desire to control the beloved sinks.

[933] For a man to know another, all he must do is figure out what they do whenever he’s not around them; to make such revelations an aim of his conversation is to start wielding influence with many.

[934] More valuable than possessing a skill is knowing the process by which it may be learned, and thus taught; with such value a man can franchise his reality into the unfolding experiences of others’ lives.

[935] The secret to a happy marriage is for both husband and wife to commit to eliciting only positive emotions in each other, and refraining from triggering the negative ones; the first comes with the unfoldment of personality, and the second with the development of character.

[936] A man travels in a direction, but a woman points him in it.

[937] A seductress’s gambit is simple: she deceives her victim into feeling like he is a great man, and then his vanity makes him an easy conquest.

[938] Most people want to either rule or change the world, but few will first rule or change themselves, which would then entitle them to such enduring power or honors.

[939] The man who truly changes the world is the one who changes himself and then induces a multitude to follow his example.

[940] Referring to a past favor to get one wins cooperation, but not without bitter resentment.

[941] There are three great evils within a man’s heart he must do battle with and conquer: jealousy, which causes him to hate the man who wins the love and favor he wishes for; envy, which causes him to hate the man who earns the power and honor he wishes for; and intolerance, which causes him to hate the man who lives free in all the ways he’s enslaved.

[942] To conquer the urge to punish or retrigger those who trigger us is to be a Son or Daughter of God; being such is to bear others sins without retaliating against their offenses.

[943] Self-worth only comes from knowing we’ve contributed to the happiness and contentment of others.

[944] A true religion in the mind of a devout adherent ends in martyrdom in this life, and immorality in the next.

[945] A happy man is the one who spreads good will and good cheer everywhere he goes, and gives no one a reason to harbor ill will and resentment towards him; but he cannot help if others are jealous, envious and intolerant of his confident attitude.

[946] What’s familiar to us seems normal, but it may really be grossly abnormal and we’d never know it because we have nothing with which to contrast and compare our reality with.

[947] A man should not ask for a critique if he’s already prepared to refute it.

[948]
