[King Robert Silvermyst]

"People should not fear their governments. Governments should fear their people." ~V

"When religions try and force their views on others, all they do is belittle their own faith." ~ Me

"Be a craftsman in speech that thou may be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting." ~Maxims of Ptahhotep

"Do not be proud because of your knowledge.
Take counsel with the ignorant as well as with the scholar.
(For) the limits of art are not reached,
(and) no artisan is equipped with perfection.
Good speech is more hidden than green stone,
yet may be found among the maids at the grindstones." ~Maxims of Ptahhotep

"If You meet a disputant in action,
one who directs his heart, superior to You,
fold your arms and bend your back.
Do not seize your heart against him,
(for) he will never agree with You.
Belittle the evil speech,
by not opposing him while he is in his moment.
He will be called an ignoramus,
for your control of heart will match his piles of words.

If You meet a disputant in action,
who is your equal, your peer,
You will make your excellence exceed his by silence,
(even) while he is speaking wrongly.
There will be much talk among the hearers,
(and) the knowledge the magistrates have of your name will be good.

If You meet a disputant in action,
a poor man, not at all your equal,
do not be aggressive of heart because he is weak,
give him land (for) he will refute himself.
Do not answer him to relieve your heart.
Do not wash the heart against your opponent.
Wretched is he who injures a poor man. " ~Maxims of Ptahhotep

"Do not scheme against people,
(for) god punishes accordingly.
If a man (nevertheless) says : 'I shall live that way.',
he will lack bread for his mouth.
If a man says : 'I shall be rich.'
He will have to say : 'My cleverness has snared me.'
If a man says : 'I will rob someone.',
he will, in the end, make a gift to a stranger !
People's schemes do not prevail.
God's command is what prevails.
Live then in the midst of peace (with what You have),
(for) what they give comes by itself. " ~Maxims of Ptahhotep
