_Disposition_ A man's disposition is like a mark in a stone, no one can efface it. _Doing Good_ If one does good, God will interpret it to him for good. _Duty to One's Self_ Do not repair another man's fence until you have seen to your own. _Effort_ You cannot kill game by looking at it. _Evil Doer_ The evil doer is ever anxious. _Experience_ We begin by being foolish and we become wise by experience. _Familiarity_ Familiarity induces contempt, but distance secures respect. _Faults_ Faults are like a hill, you stand on your own and you talk about those of other people. _Faults of the Rich_ If thou art poor, do not make a rich man thy friend. If thou goest to a foreign country, do not alight at a rich man's house. |
