First sentence: All the good books, writings, fables, and proverbs that thinkers have composed, written, and transcribed should truly be heeded by well-read people, for the ancients who wrote down these good proverbs that they heard did so for the purpose of moral edification, in order that those who set their mind upon the good might improve themselves.
