Consideration, of courtesy and charity, advanced for the sake of others is not for the sake of self; the self must learn consideration by understanding the involvement of having been considered, thus, freely passing on a measure of fruit has its own reward.
— Papi Proverb 469
Approval of the many regarding a thing should be ignored when the still small voice of one is heard disapproving.
What one would act upon must be resolved in the world of action; in order to overcome wicked tendencies, or to otherwise present honorable ones; it takes a living body.
— Papi Proverb 677
When one in the anxiety of carnality disrupts the silence to speak, the artistry of listening fails to confirm the reward of its crown.
