Everyone who reads it will find themselves referring back to the quotes in this text over and over again. On the Treatment of Others: "The practice of men of distinction is two kinds: some have each dish set first before themselves and then before their guests while others first place the dish before their guests. The second is the better custom because it is induced by generosity whereas the other is suggested by self-importance." On Daily Habits: "Philosophers say that a day-and-night consists of twenty-four hours. Foolish people are asleep for one-half of the twenty-four hours and are awake for the other half. Wise men sleep for one-third of the time and are awake for two-thirds." On Drinking: "If you are grievously suffering from the after effects of intoxication it is permissible to drink a little in order to allay the wine-sickness and so reduce discomfort caused by it."
