To achieve harmony in everyday life you should perform each act according to its numerical essence. The number pertaining to alarm-clocks, for example, is five: never allow them to ring more times than this, and never less, whereas a cup of coffee should be stirred sixteen times with a slight pause in the middle. Shoelaces will cause trouble unless they are done up three times and a door's lock needs seven checkings before it can be fully trusted. Never abandon a book on a page-number divisible by eleven. The number of mouthfuls taken to consume a meal should be a power of two. Never have an odd number of cows on your left.
