HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#56][ge56v10.txt]5494

I am human, nothing that is human can I regard as alien to me
Love is at once the easiest and the most difficult
Love overlooks the ravages of years and has a good memory
No judgment is so hard as that dealt by a slave to slaves
No man is more than man, and many men are less

The older one grows the quicker the hours hurry away
To pray is better than to bathe
Wakefulness may prolong the little term of life
