538. The prince shall devote himself assiduously to works that are commended by the wise: if he neglect them he will suffer in all his future births.
539. When thou art tempted to be self-complacent and elated, call to thy kind those that have perished by their supineness.
540. Verily it is easy for a man to achieve all that he desireth, provided he keepeth his purpose constantly before his mind.
