                            Overcoming Excessiveness


                                   a
            Holding a cup that overflows
            Is not as wise as knowing when to stop

                                   b
            Keep sharpening your sword
            And it will become dull and break

                                          c
            Filling your life with the love of money
            And no one can protect it

                                       d
            Riches and titles bring arrogance
            And disaster will follow

            When you achieve success and gain fame
                                              e
            Remain humble
            This is the Way of God
