“If you leave the schoolhouse when midday is called and go roaming in the streets, all will scold you in the end.
When an official sends you with a message,
Tell it as he told it,
Don’t omit, don’t add to it.
He who neglects to praise, his name will not endure ; he who is skilled in all his conduct, from him nothing is hidden, he is not 'opposed anywhere.”

Miriam Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, Volume I: The Old and Middle Kingdoms
