My son!
My son! Love the wise, and attach the self to them. Seek to know that I am maker, for that the soul be without knowledge is not good. Salute all men and speak the truth.
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
Drive anger out of your heart, for anger lodges only in the bosom of fools; never let a hasty temper master you, least of all with your own household. Love the wise and attach yourself to them, and never stop seeking to know your Maker. Accustom yourself to speak gently to all people, at all times. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
Do a little better today than you did yesterday, using the truth you have now; tell the truth even when it costs you; and when you are wrong, say so quickly. An old father's line I'd give you as my own: love the wise and attach yourself to them, and speak the truth. When you someday sit and summarize the ethics and principles you feel you inherited from your Zaidy, I hope the essence of them traces back to this single instrument. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
