where can i buy stromectol Starting Out of Africa, which features the untranslated epigraph

EQUITARE, ARCUM TENDERE, VERITATEM DICERE.

I have to admit it’s hard not to love anyone who starts a book with those words. “To ride a horse, to shoot the bow, to speak the truth.”  It’s from Herodotus, describing the Persians – he says that their education consisted of only those three things.  I’ve never seen it in Latin before, and perhaps Dinesen translated them herself.  She seems to have been that type.  The writing of the opening pages is beautiful.
