121. Self-control leadeth unto heaven, but uncontrolled passion is the royal road to endless darkness.

122. Guard thy self-control as a very treasure : life hath no richer wealth here below.

123. Behold the man who controlleth his passions consciously and by the right way: wisdom and every other blessing will come unto him.

124. Behold the man who hath triumphed over his passions and who swerveth not from duty: his form is more imposing than a mountain.

125. Humility is beautiful in all man: but alone on the rich doth it shine in all its splendour. Rh
