These Akhenaton quotes and sayings from our famous words of wisdom collection.Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy. - Akhenaton

Contemplate thy powers, contemplate thy wants and thy connections; so shalt thou discover the duties of life, and be directed in all thy ways. - Akhenaton
Thinking, understanding, reasoning, willing, call not these Soul! They are its actions, but they are not its essence. - Akhenaton
Reflection is the business of man; a sense of his state is his first duty; but who remembereth himself in joy? Is it not in mercy then that sorrow is allotted unto us? - Akhenaton
Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any dishonest or un-worthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success. - Akhenaton
As the moon retaineth her nature, though darkness spread itself before her face as a curtain, so the Soul remaineth perfect even in the bosom of the fool. - Akhenaton
