How we argue much about nothing !

Yes, we waste our time & We lose much time quarrelling over words, in sophisticated arguments, in all sorts of activities, that has no purpose !

We tie knots, & then try to untie them.

Have we leisure enough for this?, Do we already know how to live, or die?

It is things that lead us astray: it is between things that you must discriminate.

How closely flattery resembles friendship!, it is welcomed & sinks to the depths of the heart, & it is pleasing precisely wherein it does harm.
