| Chapter 7 : seek no wealth 01 Do not set your heart on wealth! 02 There is no ignoring Shay and Renenet! 03 Do not let your heart go straying, (for) 04 every man comes to his hour. 05 Do not labour to seek increase, 06 what You have, let it suffice You. 07 If riches come to You by theft, 08 they will not stay the night with You. 09 Comes morning, (and) they are not in your house ; 10 their place is seen but they are not there : 11 earth opened its mouth, leveled them, swallowed them, 12 and made them sink into Dat, (or) 13 they made a hole as big as their size, 14 and sank into the netherworld, (or) 15 they made themselves wings like geese, 16 and flew away to the sky. 17 Do not rejoice in wealth from theft, 18 nor complain of being poor. 19 If the leading archer presses forward, 20 his company abandons him! 21 The boat of the greedy is left (in) the mud, 22 while the bark of the tranquil sails with the wind. 23 You shall pray to the Aten when he rises, 24 saying : 'Grant me well-being and health!' 25 He will give You your needs for this life, 26 and You will be safe from fear. |

| I want to preach a new doctrine. A complete separation of business and government. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Dedication speech, July 4, 1929, at Tammany Hall’s new headquarters. Nathan Miller, F.D.R.: An Intimate History, p. 234, Doubleday & Co. (1983). A theme which FDR often referred to in his articles and speeches in the 1920s was the degree to which the Republican Party represented big business to the exclusion of the rest of the populace. This related to his perception of the “economic royalists” (in an address during the 1936 campaign), whom he believed had brought the nation to disaster in the twenties. ~ |

| No matter who we are with, we often think things like "I am stronger then he," "I am more beautiful than she," "I am more intelligent," "I am wealthier," "I am much better qualified," and so forth - we generate much pride. This is not good. Instead, we should always remain humble. Even when we are helping others and are engaged in charity work, we should not regard ourselves in a very haughty way as great protectors benefitting the weak. |
