Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.

Slight not what is near, while aiming at what is far.

Peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near

He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away; He Himself is in-between. He Himself beholds, and He Himself listens.

Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come

Far better a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
