Cuttle-Fish: Persons Who Resemble A <ref name="term_75738" />
<p> It was an old Pythagorean maxim, 'Sepiam ne edito,' 'never eat the cuttle-fish.' The cuttle-fish has the power of emitting a black liquid which dyes the water and enables it to conceal itself. Have nothing to do with those who darken all around them that they themselves may be unseen; honest men love light, and only the evil find darkness to be congenial. When an author is too obscure to he understood, leave him till he knows how to write; when a preacher is mystical, high-flown, sophistical, shun him, for it is most likely he labours to conceal some latent heresy; when a man's policy is deep and artful, flee from him, for he means no good. No deceiver or double-tongued man must be admitted within the circle of your confidence. [[Remember]] the advice, never eat a cuttle-fish. </p>
