Page 82 - ... take of daily intercourse ; there is nothing that can be considered as a moral command, like the subjects classed above. These maxims sometimes rise above mere policy to an ethical point of view. " Do not wrap up thy heart in riches that have come by the gift of God." " If thou desirest thy procedure to be good, take thyself from all evil, beware of any covetous aim.
Page 78 - Varuna ! all this sin is not wilfully committed by us. Error or wine, anger or dice, or even thoughtlessness, has begotten sin. Even an elder brother leads his younger astray, sin is begotten even in our dreams.
Page 67 - The greatest effect of an ideal is not attained when it is pitched very far above natural inclination. As is well pointed out by Professor Petrie, " in the case of a very high standard the danger is that it will attract such a slender portion of the whole area of variation that it will benefit very few people ; and in short be hypocritically concurred in but practically disregarded. A standard nearer to the average will have a more generally useful effect ; while one even lower may yet be more useful....
Page 86 - Griffith as meaning in an ambiguous position), be kind to her a season ; send her not away, let her have food to eat. The wantonness of her heart appreciateth guidance.'' (Griffith, World's Literature, p. 5337.) Apparently this is a recommendation, couched, it must be admitted, in mild terms, to a man who has seduced a woman to treat her with consideration. There is clearly no question of any obligation.
Page 88 - The son that hearkeneth is a follower of Horus. There is good for him when he hath hearkened. He groweth old ; he telleth the like to his children, renewing the teaching of his father ; . . . the disobedient sees knowledge in ignorance, virtue in vice ; his daily life is what the wise man knows to be death.
Page 75 - Of what shouldest thou talk daily ? Let officials talk of their affairs, a woman talk of her husband, and every man talk of his business." (Any, 30.) And in more detail he says, " If there is enquiry, increase not thy words ; in keeping quiet thou wilt do best ; do not be a talker" (Any, 10) ; and again, "Guard thyself from sinning in words, that they may not wound ; a thing to be condemned in the breast of man is malicious gossip, which is never still. Discard the man who errs (thus) and let him...
Page 24 - ... the religion of the chaos that dwelt in Egypt had limited itself more and more to the worship of the ' son of God ' — Horus and his mother Isis. Concerning this the famous Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie, writes : ' This religious custom had a profound influence on the development of Christianity. We may even say that, but for the presence of Egypt, we should never have seen a Madonna. Isis had obtained a great hold on the Romans under the earlier Emperors, her worship was fashionable and widespread...
Page 78 - He should be strong, steadfast, and self-respecting; active and straightforward; quiet and discreet; avoid covetousness and presumption, yet with all this, while striving for the highest character, he was to keep the use of life before him and to avoid miserliness or asceticism.
Page 14 - Ptolemaic times, although we know from monuments that the belief in it belongs to the earliest religion. We gain, however, an enlarged idea of it from its action in the tale of Setna. There a ka has the affections of its former life, and it will wander hundreds of miles from its own tomb to dwell in the tomb of its mate.
