| AKHENATON |
| (c. 1335 BC) controversial Egyptian leader, husband of Nefertiti |
| �As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger.�
�Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that the principles are just, and then be thou.� �Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend.� �The lips of the wise are as the doors of a cabinet; no sooner are they opened, but treasures are poured out before thee.� �True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.� |
