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 inferred this conclusion: "That those men only live to any purpose, who overcome carnal pleasures, make virtue familiar, 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; leaving behind him this axiom, [ Mελέτη, Τo Πà?]: "Meditation is everything."
