1855
{June 16th} Bias when he came to die, bequeathed
this instruction to those who survived
him: "That they should so order their lives
as if they were to live a very little, and a very great
while". From which principle of his, his
{Wisdom} friend Cleobulus on his death-bed in-
ferred this conclusion: "That those
men only live to any purpose, who over-
come carnal pleasures, make virtue fa-
miliar, and vice a stranger to their souls;
the great rule of life, as he observed, being
to be moderate, and, the great work of it
to meditate, according to the remark
of his contemporary Periander, who [heated]
pleasure which were not immortal; leav-
ing behind him this axiom, [ Mελέτη, Τo
Πà?]: "Meditation is everything."
