The Husia: The Book of Ptah-Hotep, VI (excerpt)
If you move among people, gain respect and trust through speaking openly and truthfully. Those who are trusted and speak truthfully, will become leaders and masters of themselves. Those who master themselves enjoy a good name and are not maligned. They are in good health and their face is turned toward their people. And they are praised without their knowing it. May the God of our Ancestors keep you and bless you.
