| Chapter 17 : do not corrupt the measure 01 Beware of disguising the wedjat-measure, 02 so as to falsify its fractions. 03 Do not force it to overflow, 04 nor let its belly be empty. 05 Measure according to its true size, 06 your hand clearing exactly. 07 Do not make a bushel of twice its size, 08 for then You are headed for the flood. 09 The bushel is the Eye of Re, 10 it abhors him who trims. 11 A measurer who indulges in cheating, 12 his Eye seals (the verdict) against him. 13 Do not accept a farmer's dues, 14 and then assess him so as to injure him. 15 Do not conspire with the measurer, 16 so as to defraud the share of the residence. 17 Greater is the might of the threshing floor, 18 than an oath by the great throne. |

| Quote of the moment |
| We know our task to be no mere task of politics but a task which shall search us through and through... This is not a day of triumph: It is a day of dedication. Here, muster, not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us, men's lives hang in the balance; men's hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? |
| ~ Woodrow Wilson ---First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1913 ~ |
