138 Quotes by Miriam Lichtheim

To do what profits is eternity.

Life is a passage ; trees fall.Tread on the evil, put down my misery!

The arbitrator is a robber,The remover of need orders its creation.The town is a floodwater,The punisher of evil commits crimes!

As for any people who would enter this tomb unclean and do something evil to it, there will be judgment against them by the great god.INSCRIPTION OF HETEP-HER-AKHET
