| Chapter 27 : do not revile an elder 01 Do not revile one older than You, (for) 02 he has seen Re before You. 03 Let (him) not report You to the Aten at his rising, 04 saying : 'A youth has reviled an old man.' 05 Very painful before Re, 06 is a youth who reviles an elder. 07 Let him beat You while your hand is on your chest, 08 let him revile You while You are silent. 09 If the next day You come before him, 10 he will give You food in plenty. 11 A dog's food is from its master, (and) 12 he barks to him who gives it. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Irrespective of whether we are believers or agnostics, whether we believe in God or karma, moral ethics is a code which everyone is able to pursue. We need human qualities such as moral scruples, compassion, and humility. Because of our innate human frailty and weakness, these qualities are only accessible through forceful individual development in a conducive social milieu, so that a more humane world will come into being. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, December 1, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endure with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; Amen. |
| ~ GEORGE L. LOCKE, prayer, c. 1880. President Franklin D. Roosevelt included it as “an old prayer” without attribution, in his final radio speech of the 1940 presidential campaign, November 4, 1940.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940, pp. 557–58 (1941). Life magazine reproduced the prayer in its issue of November 18, 1940, and in a letter to the editor in the December 9 issue, p. 4, the Rev. Mr. Locke’s daughter wrote about his authorship and the circumstances of his composing the prayer. ~ |

| Never had Henry Pootel Piglet run so fast as he ran then, and he didn't stop running until he had got quite close to his house. But when he was a hundred yards away he stopped running, and rolled the rest of the way home, so as to get his own nice comfortable colour again.... |
