Human beings are a mere vapor, while people in high positions are not what they appear. When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing; even when weighed together, they are less than nothing.

Then, I was too stupid and didn't realize I was acting like a wild animal with you.

Surely I am beyond the senselessness of any man; I do not perceive things the way human beings do.

Live in harmony with each other. Do not be arrogant, but associate with humble people. Do not think that you are wiser than you really are.

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his noble conduct that his actions are done humbly and wisely.

"Who sets the wild donkey free? Who loosens the bonds of the wild donkey

a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her passion. When she's in heat, who can turn her away? None of the males who pursue her need to tire themselves out, for in her month they'll find her."
