| Chapter 5 : honest and tranquil service 01 Do not falsify the temple rations. 02 Do not grasp and You will find profit. 03 Do not remove a servant of god, 04 so as to do favours to another. 05 Do not say : 'Today is like tomorrow.' 06 How will this end? 07 Comes tomorrow, today has vanished. 08 The deep has become the water's edge. 09 Crocodiles are bared, hippopotami stranded. 10 The fish crowded together. 11 Jackals are sated, birds are in feast. 12 The fishnets have been drained. 13 But all the silent in the temple, 14 they say : 'Re's blessing is great!' 15 Cling to the silent, then You find life, (and) 16 your being will prosper upon earth. |

| Quote of the moment |
| We are fighting in the quarrel of civilization against barbarism, of liberty against tyranny. Germany has become a menace to the whole world. She is the most dangerous enemy of liberty now existing. |
| ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), U.S. Republican (later Progressive) politician, president. Speech, April 1917, Oyster Bay, Long Island. Roosevelt added: “The man who does not think it was America’s duty to fight for her own sake in view of the infamous conduct of Germany toward us stands on a level with a man who wouldn’t think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife’s face was slapped.” ~ |
