Concerning love of self

"When men fear not that which is to be feared, that which they fear cometh upon them. Let them not live, without thought, the superficial life. Let them not weary of the Spring of Life! By avoiding the superficial life, this weariness cometh not upon them. These things the wise man knoweth, not showeth: he loveth himself, without isolating his value. He accepteth the former and rejecteth the latter."

By avoiding the superficial life, this weariness cometh not upon them. These things the wise man knoweth, not showeth: he loveth himself, without isolating his value. He accepteth the former and rejecteth the latter."
