13604, Know Thy Self
Posted by guest, Mon Jun-04-01 06:46 AM
A person who knows not
And knows that they know not
Is foolish- disregard them

A person who knows not
And knows that they know not
Is simple- teach them

A person who knows not
And believes that they know
Is dangerous- avoid them

A person who knows
And knows not that they know
Is asleep- wake them

A person who knows
and knows that they know
Is wise- follow them

All of these persons reside in you
Know Thy Self
And to Maat be true

*a modern adaptation of an ancient proverb, taken from the book "Nile Valley Contributions To Civilization" by Anthony T. Browder
