Do not abandon yourself to sorrow, do not torment yourself with brooding. Gladness of heart is life to a man, joy is what gives him length of day. Beguile your cares, console your heart, chase sorrow far away; for sorrow has been the ruin of many, and is no use to anybody. Jealousy and anger shorten your days, and worry brings premature old age. A genial heart makes a good trencherman, one who benefits from his food.
