It is better to go to the house of mourning, Than to go to the house of feasting; For that is the end of all men, And the living will lay it to his heart." 12.7.

The end of the matter, all having been heard: fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole man."

Then see if this next statement of mine strikes you as a good one too. It seems to me that the closest possible friendship between man and man is that mentioned by the sages of old time as like to like. Do you not agree? Call. I do. Soc. So where you have a savage, uneducated ruler as despot, if there were some one in the city far better than he, I suppose the despot would be afraid of him

Love hates it by nature, and refuses to come within any distance of it. He is ever consorting with the young, and such also is he: well says the old saw, Like and like together strike.

14. Septuagint, 1 Maccabees, 7.23 (2nd cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE) 7.23. And Judas saw all the evil that Alcimus and those with him had done among the sons of Israel; it was more than the Gentiles had done.
15. Septuagint, Ecclesiasticus (Siracides), 17.1, 41.11 (2nd cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE) 17.1. The Lord created man out of earth,and turned him back to it again. 17.1. And they will praise his holy name,to proclaim the grandeur of his works. 41.11. The mourning of men is about their bodies,but the evil name of sinners will be blotted out.
