Hong Styczen. (№ 123886)

Better to be a friend of the elder living in the mountains than the man market merchant. Better to spend days in a grass hut than to be well received in the house with the red gate. It is better to listen to the songs of woodcutters and shepherds, than to listen to street talk. It is best to remember the great words and glorious deeds of the ancients, than to lament about the depravity of modern manners.
