People ought to fight
to keep their law
as to defend the citys walls.

Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeates all things.

Whoever cannot seek the unforeseen sees nothing for the known way is an impasse.

Even a soul submerged in sleep
is hard at work and helps
make something of the world.

To be evenminded
is the greatest virtue.
Wisdom is to speak
the truth and act
in keeping with its nature.

Fire lives in the death of earth, air lives in the death of fire, water lives in the death of air, and earth in the death of water.
