_Character_
Wherever a man goes to dwell his character goes with him. Every man's character is good in his own eyes. _Charity_ Charity is the father of sacrifice. _Children_ There is no wealth without children. It is the duty of children to wait on elders, not elders on children. _Condemnation_ You condemn on hearsay evidence alone, your sins increase. _Contempt_ Men despise what they do not understand. _Covetousness_ If thou seeketh to obtain by force what our Lord did not give thee, thou wilt not get it. _Danger of Beauty_ He who marries a beauty, marries trouble. _Danger of Poverty_ Beg help and you will meet with refusals; ask for alms and you will meet with misers. _Danger of Wealth_ It is better to be poor and live long than rich and die young. |
