Excerpt from: The Maxims of Ptahhotep

"Don't be proud because of your knowledge,

consult both the layman and the scholar.

The limits of invention can never be reached:

no artist's skills are perfect.

Good speech is more hidden than emerald

but may be found among the girls at the grindstones."
