Zoroaster — "And the reward of the evil man shall be the darkness of the nether world."

"Through the best righteousness, through the best mind, and through the best works, we approach Thee, O Mazda Ahura."

"I who have set my heart on watching over the soul, in union with Good Thought, as I praise and proclaim you, O Wise Lord."

"Whosoever, O Mazda, does not serve thee with the word, him I shall deliver into the hand of the wicked; for him shall be woe, and long punishment."

"O Fashioner of the World! O Creator of the waters and plants! Grant Thou to me Thy blessings of Perfection and Immortality!"

"Form no covetous desire, so that the demon of greediness may not deceive thee, and the treasure of the world may not be tasteless to thee."
