Behave in life as at a dinner party. Is anything brought around to you? Put out your hand and take your share with moderation. Does it pass by you? Do not stop it. Is it not yet come?

Do this with regard to children, to a spouse, to public post, to riches, and you will eventually be a worthy guest at the feast of life.
