On Fearing God ... by Hermes Trismegistus
Therefore,
the Master saith:
Whosoever bends his back over the study of our
books, devoting his leisure thereto, is not occupied with vain thoughts,
but fears God, and shall reign in the Kingdom without fail until he
die.
For what ye seek is not of small
price. Woe unto you who seek the very great and compensating treasure
of God!
Know ye not that for the smallest purpose in the world, earthly
men will give themselves to death, and what, therefore, ought they to do
for this most excellent and almost impossible offering?
Turba Philosophorum Part 2 (39th Dictum) Hermes
