The Instructions of Ptah-Hotep
Take Time to Refresh Your Spirit
Follow your heart during your lifetime; do not more than is commanded of you. Diminish not the time of following the heart; it is abhorred of the soul, that its time [of ease] be taken away. Shorten not the daytime more than is needful to maintain your house. When riches are gained, follow the heart ; for riches are of no avail if one be weary.
