+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+Cynics may ask, how many have profited by the innumerable proverbs
+and maxims of prudence which have been current in the world time out
+of mind? They will say that their only use is to repeat them after
+some unhappy wight has “gone wrong.” When, for instance, a man has
+played “ducks and drakes” with his money, the fact at once calls up
+the proverb which declares that “wilful waste leads to woful want”;
+but did not the “waster” know this well-worn saying from his early
+years _downwards_? What good, then, did it do him? Again, how many
+have been benefited by the saying of the ancient Greek poet, that
+“evil communications corrupt good manners”?—albeit they had it
+frequently before them in their school “copy-books.” Are the maxims
+of morality useless, then, because they are so much disregarded?
+
+When a man has reached middle-age he generally feels with tenfold
+force the truth of those “sayings of the wise” which he learned in
+his early years, and has cause to regret, as well as wonder, that he
+had not all along followed their wholesome teaching. For it is to
+the young, who are about to cross the threshold of active life, that
+such terse convincing sentences are more especially addressed, and,
+spite of the proverbial heedlessness of youth, there will be found
+many who are not deaf to this kind of instruction, if their moral
+environment be favourable. But, even after the spring-time of youth
+is past, there are occasions when the mind is peculiarly susceptible
+to the force of a pithy maxim, which may tend to the reforming of
+one’s way of life. There is commonly more practical wisdom in a
+striking aphorism than in a round dozen of “goody” books—that is to
+say, books which are not good in the highest sense, because their
+themes are overlaid with commonplace and wearisome reflections.
+
+May we not find the “whole duty of man” condensed into a few brief
+sentences, which have been expressed by thoughtful men in all ages
+and in countries far apart?—such as: “Love thy neighbour as
+thyself,” “Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you.”
+The chief themes of all teachers of morality are: benevolence and
+beneficence; tolerance of the opinions of others; self-control; the
+acquisition of knowledge—that jewel beyond price; the true uses of
+wealth; the advantages of resolute, manly exertion; the dignity of
+labour; the futility of worldly pleasures; the fugacity of time;
+man’s individual insignificance. They are never weary of inculcating
+taciturnity in preference to loquacity, and the virtues of patience
+and resignation. They iterate and reiterate the fact that true
+happiness is to be found only in contentment; and they administer
+consolation and infuse hope by reminding us that as dark days are
+followed by bright days, so times of bitter adversity are followed
+by seasons of sweet prosperity; and thus, like the immortal Sir
+Hudibras, when “in doleful dumps”, we may “cheer ourselves with ends
+of verse, and sayings of philosophers.”
+
+In the following small selection of aphorisms, a considerable
+proportion are drawn from Eastern literature. Indian wisdom is
+represented by passages from the great epics, the _Mahābhārata_ and
+the _Rāmāyana_; the _Panchatantra_ and the _Hitopadesa_, two
+Sanskrit versions of the famous collection of apologues known in
+Europe as the Fables of Bidpaï, or Pilpay; the _Dharma-sastra_ of
+Manu; Bhāravi, Māgha, Bhartrihari, and other Hindu poets. Specimens
+of the mild teachings of Buddha and his more notable followers are
+taken from the _Dhammapada_ (Path of Virtue) and other canonical
+works; pregnant sayings of the Jewish Fathers, from the Talmud;
+Moslem moral philosophy is represented by extracts from Arabic and
+Persian writers (among the great poets of Persia are, Firdausī,
+Sa’dī, Hāfiz, Nizāmī, Omar Khayyām, Jāmī); while the proverbial
+wisdom of the Chinese and the didactic writings of the sages of
+Burmah are also occasionally cited.
+
+The ordinary reader will probably be somewhat surprised to discover
+in the aphorisms of the ancient Greeks and Hindus several close
+parallels to the doctrines of the Old and New Testaments, and he
+will have reasoned justly if he conclude that the so-called
+“heathens” could have derived their spiritual light only from the
+same Source as that which inspired the Hebrew prophets and the
+Christian apostles.
+
+Among English writers of aphorisms Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, is
+pre-eminent, but none of his pithy sentences find place here,
+because they are procurable in many inexpensive forms, (_e.g._,
+_Counsels from my Lord Bacon_, 1892), and must be familiar to what is
+termed “the average general reader.” _The Enchiridion_ of Frances
+Quarles and the _Resolves_ of Owen Feltham are, however, laid under
+contribution, as also Robert Chamberlain, an author who is probably
+unknown to many pluming themselves on their thorough acquaintance
+with English literature, some of whose aphorisms (published in 1638,
+under the title of _Nocturnal Lucubrations_) I have deemed worthy of
+reproduction.
+
+In more modern times, with the sole exception of William Hazlitt,
+our country has produced no very successful writer of aphorisms.
+Colton’s _Lacon; or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those
+who Think_, went through several editions soon after its first
+publication in 1820; it is described by Mr. John Morley—and not
+unfairly—as being “so vapid, so wordy, so futile as to have a place
+among those books which dispense with parody”; it is “an awful
+example to anyone who is tempted to try his hand at an aphorism.”
+Mr. Morley is hardly less severe in speaking of the “Thoughts” in
+_Theophrastus Such_: “the most insufferable of all deadly-lively
+prosing in our sublunary world.” However this may be, assuredly
+other works of the author of _Adam Bede_ will be found to furnish
+many examples of admirable apothegms.
+
+It only remains to add that, bearing in mind that a great collection
+of gravities commonly proves quite as wearisome reading as a large
+compilation of gaieties, or facetiæ, I have confined my selection of
+“sayings of the wise” within the limits of a pocket-volume.
+

+BOOK OF WISE SAYINGS.
+
+
+1.
+
+The enemies which rise within the body, hard to be overcome—thy
+evil passions—should manfully be fought: he who conquers these is
+equal to the conquerors of worlds.
+
+                                                      _Bhāravi._
+
+
+2.
+
+If passion gaineth the mastery over reason, the wise will not count
+thee amongst men.
+
+                                                      _Firdausī._
+
+
+3.
+
+Knowledge is destroyed by associating with the base; with equals
+equality is gained, and with the distinguished, distinction.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+4.
+
+Dost thou desire that thine own heart should not suffer, redeem thou
+the sufferer from the bonds of misery.
+
+                                                        _Sa’dī._
+
+
+5.
+
+To friends and eke to foes true kindness show;
+No kindly heart unkindly deeds will do;
+  Harshness will alienate a bosom friend.
+And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayyām._
+
+
+6.
+
+There is no greater grief in misery than to turn our thoughts back
+to happier times.[1]
+
+                                                        _Dante._
+
+    [1] Cf. Goldsmith:
+
+          O Memory! thou fond deceiver,
+            Still importunate and vain;
+          To former joys recurring ever,
+            And turning all the past to pain.
+
+
+7.
+
+We in reality only know when we doubt a little. With knowledge comes
+doubt.
+
+                                                       _Goethe._
+
+
+8.
+
+In the hour of adversity be not without hope, for crystal rain falls
+from black clouds.
+
+                                                       _Nizāmī._
+
+
+9.
+
+One common origin unites us all, but every sort of wood does not
+give the perfume of the lignum aloes.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+
+
+10.
+
+I asked an experienced elder who had profited by his knowledge of
+the world, “What course should I pursue to obtain prosperity?” He
+replied, “Contentment—if you are able, practise contentment.”
+
+                                                       _Selman._
+
+
+11.
+
+Every moment that a man may be in want of employment, than such I
+hold him to be far better who is forced to labour for nothing.
+
+                                                       _Afghan._
+
+
+12.
+
+The foolish undertake a trifling act, and soon desist, discouraged;
+wise men engage in mighty works, and persevere.
+
+                                                        _Māgha._
+
+
+13.
+
+Those who wish well towards their friends disdain to please them
+with words which are not true.
+
+                                                      _Bhāravi._
+
+
+14.
+
+Reason is captive in the hands of the passions, as a weak man in the
+hands of an artful woman.
+
+                                                        _Sa’dī._
+
+
+15.
+
+Like an earthen pot, a bad man is easily broken, and cannot readily
+be restored to his former situation; but a virtuous man, like a vase
+of gold, is broken with difficulty, and easily repaired.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+16.
+
+The son who delights his father by his good actions; the wife who
+seeks only her husband’s good; the friend who is the same in
+prosperity and adversity—these three things are the reward of
+virtue.
+
+                                                  _Bhartrihari._
+
+
+17.
+
+Let us not overstrain our abilities, or we shall do nothing with
+grace. A clown, whatever he may do, will never pass for a gentleman.
+
+                                                  _La Fontaine._
+
+
+18.
+
+To abstain from speaking is regarded as very difficult. It is not
+possible to say much that is valuable and striking.[2]
+
+                                                  _Mahābhārata._
+
+    [2] Cf. James, III, 8.
+
+
+19.
+
+Pagodas are, like mosques, true houses of prayer;
+’Tis prayer that church bells waft upon the air;
+  Kaaba and temple, rosary and cross,
+All are but divers tongues of world-wide prayer.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayyām._
+
+
+20.
+
+In no wise ask about the faults of others, for he who reporteth the
+faults of others will report thine also.
+
+                                                     _Firdausī._
+
+
+21.
+
+He that holds fast the golden mean,
+And lives contentedly between
+  The little and the great,
+Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
+Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door,
+  Embittering all his state.
+
+                                                       _Horace._
+
+
+22.
+
+Nothing is more becoming a man than silence. It is not the preaching
+but the practice which ought to be considered as the more important.
+A profusion of words is sure to lead to error.
+
+                                                       _Talmud._
+
+
+23.
+
+Consider, and you will find that almost all the transactions of the
+time of Vespasian differed little from those of the present day. You
+there find marrying and giving in marriage, educating children,
+sickness, death, war, joyous holidays, traffic, agriculture,
+flatterers, insolent pride, suspicions, laying of plots, longing for
+the death of others, newsmongers, lovers, misers, men canvassing for
+consulship—yet all these passed away, and are nowhere.
+
+                                                  _M. Aurelius._
+
+
+24.
+
+The friendship of the bad is like the shade of some precipitous bank
+with crumbling sides, which, falling, buries him who is beneath.
+
+                                                      _Bhāravi._
+
+
+25.
+
+His action no applause invites
+Who simply good with good repays;
+  He only justly merits praise
+Who wrongful deeds with kind requites.[3]
+
+                                                 _Panchatantra._
+
+    [3] Matt. V, 43, 44.
+
+
+26.
+
+Death comes, and makes a man his prey,
+  A man whose powers are yet unspent;
+  Like one on gathering flowers intent,
+Whose thoughts are turned another way.
+
+Begin betimes to practise good,
+  Lest fate surprise thee unawares
+  Amid thy round of schemes and cares;
+To-morrow’s task to-day conclude.[4]
+
+                                                  _Mahābhārata._
+
+    [4] Eccles. IX, 10; XII, 1.
+
+
+27.
+
+Let a man’s talents or virtues be what they may, we feel
+satisfaction in his society only as he is satisfied in himself. We
+cannot enjoy the good qualities of a friend if he seems to be none
+the better for them.
+
+                                                      _Hazlitt._
+
+
+28.
+
+It was a false maxim of Domitian that he who would gain the people
+of Rome must promise all things and perform nothing. For when a man
+is known to be false in his word, instead of a column, which he
+might be by keeping it, for others to rest upon, he becomes a reed,
+which no man will vouchsafe to lean upon. Like a floating island,
+when we come next day to seek it, it is carried from the place we
+left it in, and, instead of earth to build upon, we find nothing but
+inconstant and deceiving waves.
+
+                                                      _Feltham._
+
+
+29.
+
+He is not dead who departs this life with high fame; dead is he,
+though living, whose brow is branded with infamy.
+
+                                                        _Tieck._
+
+
+30.
+
+In the height of thy prosperity expect adversity, but fear it not.
+If it come not, thou art the more sweetly possessed of the happiness
+thou hast, and the more strongly confirmed. If it come, thou art the
+more gently dispossessed of the happiness thou hadst, and the more
+firmly prepared.
+
+                                                      _Quarles._
+
+
+31.
+
+A prudent man will not discover his poverty, his self-torments, the
+disorders of his house, his uneasiness, or his disgrace.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+32.
+
+Men are of three different capacities: one understands intuitively;
+another understands so far as it is explained; and a third
+understands neither of himself nor by explanation. The first is
+excellent, the second, commendable, and the third, altogether
+useless.
+
+                                                  _Machiavelli._
+
+
+33.
+
+It is difficult to understand men, but still harder to know them
+thoroughly.
+
+                                                     _Schiller._
+
+
+34.
+
+Worldly fame and pleasure are destructive to the virtue of the mind;
+anxious thoughts and apprehensions are injurious to the health of
+the body.
+
+                                                      _Chinese._
+
+
+35.
+
+Alas, for him who is gone and hath done no good work! The trumpet of
+march has sounded, and his load was not bound on.
+
+                                                      _Persian._
+
+
+36.
+
+Human experience, like the stern-lights of a ship at sea, illumines
+only the path which we have passed over.
+
+                                                    _Coleridge._
+
+
+37.
+
+Man is an actor who plays various parts:
+First comes a boy, then out a lover starts;
+His garb is changed for, lo! a beggar’s rags;
+Then he’s a merchant with full money-bags;
+Anon, an aged sire, wrinkled and lean;
+At last Death drops the curtain on the scene.[5]
+
+                                                  _Bhartrihari._
+
+    [5] Cf. Shakspeare:
+
+          “All the world’s a stage,” etc.—_As You Like It_,
+          Act II, _sc._ 7.
+
+
+38.
+
+Through avarice a man loses his understanding, and by his thirst for
+wealth he gives pain to the inhabitants of both worlds.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+39.

+Men soon the faults of others learn,

+Choose knowledge, if thou desirest a blessing from the Universal

+
+In conversation humour is more than wit, easiness, more than
+knowledge; few desire to learn, or to think they need it; all desire
+to be pleased, or, if not, to be easy.

+
+
+74.
+
+The round of a passionate man’s life is in contracting debts in his
+passion which his virtue obliges him to pay. He spends his time in
+outrage and acknowledgment, injury and reparation.
+
+                                                      _Johnson._
+
+
+75.
+
+To reprehend well is the most necessary and the hardest part of
+friendship. Who is it that does not sometimes merit a check, and yet
+how few will endure one? Yet wherein can a friend more unfold his
+love than in preventing dangers before their birth, or in bringing a
+man to safety who is travelling on the road to ruin? I grant there
+is a manner of reprehending which turns a benefit into an injury,
+and then it both strengthens error and wounds the giver. When thou
+chidest thy wandering friend do it secretly, in season, in love, not
+in the ear of a popular convention, for oftentimes the presence of a
+multitude makes a man take up an unjust defence, rather than fall
+into a just shame.

+He who seeks wealth sacrifices his own pleasure, and, like him who
+carries burdens for others, bears the load of anxiety.

+
+Circumspection in calamity; mercy in greatness; good speeches in

+A woman will not throw away a garland, though soiled, which her

+
+As drops of bitter medicine, though minute, may have a salutary

+rouse the prostrate energies of those who meet misfortune with
+despondency.

+
+An indiscreet man is more hurtful than an ill-natured one; for as
+the latter will only attack his enemies, and those he wishes ill to,
+the other injures indifferently both his friends and foes.

+
+A good man’s intellect is piercing, yet inflicts no wound; his

+
+Our writings are like so many dishes, our readers, our guests, our
+books, like beauty—that which one admires another rejects; so we
+are approved as men’s fancies are inclined.... As apothecaries, we
+make new mixtures every day, pour out of one vessel into another;
+and as those old Romans robbed all cities of the world to set out
+their bad-cited Rome, we skim off the cream of other men’s wits,
+pick the choice flowers of their tilled gardens, to set out our own
+sterile plots. We weave the same web still, twist the same rope
+again and again; or, if it be a new invention, ’tis but some bauble
+or toy, which idle fellows write, for as idle fellows to read.[8]

+
+    [8] Ferriar has pointed out, in his _Illustrations of
+        Sterne_, how these passages from Burton’s _Anatomy of
+        Melancholy_ have been boldly plagiarised in the
+        introduction to the fragment on Whiskers in _Tristram
+        Shandy_: “Shall we for ever make new books as
+        apothecaries make new mixtures, by only pouring out of
+        one vessel into another? Are we for ever to be twisting
+        and untwisting the same rope?” And Dr. Johnson, who was
+        a great admirer of Burton, adopts the illustration of

+
+It is our follies that make our lives uncomfortable. Our errors of

+
+By six qualities may a fool be known: anger, without cause; speech,
+without profit; change, without motive; inquiry, without an object;
+trust in a stranger; and incapacity to discriminate between friend
+and foe.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._

+
+Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances,
+but by the character of their lives and conversations. ’Tis better
+that a man’s own works than another man’s words should praise him.
+
+                                            _Sir R. L’Estrange._

+To exert his power in doing good is man’s most glorious task.

+
+Those who are skilled in archery bend their bow only when they are
+prepared to use it; when they do not require it they allow it to
+remain unbent, for otherwise it would be unserviceable when the time
+for using it arrived. So it is with man. If he were to devote
+himself unceasingly to a dull round of business, without breaking
+the monotony by cheerful amusements, he would fall imperceptibly
+into idiotcy, or be struck with paralysis.
+
+                                                    _Herodotus._

+
+Blinded by self-conceit and knowing nothing,
+Like elephant infatuate with passion,
+I thought within myself, I all things knew;
+But when by slow degrees I somewhat learnt
+By aid of wise preceptors, my conceit,
+Like some disease, passed off; and now I live
+In the plain sense of what a fool I am.

+
+Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure
+after the departure of time? and the most consolatory, since pain,
+when pain has passed, is nothing. Time is the wheel-track in which
+we roll on towards eternity, conducting us to the Incomprehensible.
+In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the
+more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to
+its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite
+good, in which all finite things are resolved.
+
+                                                 _Von Humboldt._
+
+
+114.
+
+All that we are is made up of our thoughts; it is founded on our
+thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with
+a pure thought, happiness will follow him, like a shadow that never
+leaves him.
+
+                                                   _Dhammapada._

+
+Depend not on another, rather lean
+Upon thyself; trust to thine own exertions:
+Subjection to another’s will gives pain;
+True happiness consists in self-reliance.
+
+                                                         _Manu._

+
+If the friendship of the good be interrupted, their minds admit of
+no long change; as when the stalks of a lotus are broken the
+filaments within them are more visibly cemented.

+117.
+
+Anger that has no limit causes terror, and unseasonable kindness
+does away with respect. Be not so severe as to cause disgust, nor so
+lenient as to make people presume.
+
+                                                        _Sa’dī._
+
+

+
+Be patient, if thou wouldst thy ends accomplish; for like patience
+is there no appliance effective of success, producing certainly
+abundant fruit of actions, never damped by failure, conquering all
+impediments.

+
+Most men, even the most accomplished, are of limited faculties;
+every one sets a value on certain qualities in himself and others:
+these alone he is willing to favour, these alone will he have
+cultivated.
+

+
+
+121.
+
+Poverty, we may say, surrounds a man with ready-made barriers, which
+if they do mournfully gall and hamper, do at least prescribe for
+him, and force on him, a sort of course and goal; a safe and beaten,
+though a circuitous, course. A great part of his guidance is secure
+against fatal error, is withdrawn from his control. The rich, again,
+has his whole life to guide, without goal or barrier, save of his
+own choosing, and, tempted, is too likely to guide it ill.
+
+                                                      _Carlyle._

+
+By Fate full many a heart has been undone,
+And many a sprightly rose made woe-begone;
+  Plume thee not on thy lusty youth and strength:
+Full many a bud is blasted ere its bloom.
+

+
+The best thing is to be respected, the next, is to be loved; it is
+bad to be hated, but still worse to be despised.

+He only does not live in vain
+Who all the means within his reach
+  Employs—his wealth, his thought, his speech—
+T’advance the weal of other men.

+If you injure a harmless person, the evil will fall back upon you,

+
+In the life of every man there are sudden transitions of feeling,
+which seem almost miraculous. At once, as if some magician had
+touched the heavens and the earth, the dark clouds melt into the
+air, the wind falls, and serenity succeeds the storm. The causes
+which produce these changes may have been long at work within us,
+but the changes themselves are instantaneous, and apparently without
+sufficient cause.

+
+Man is an intellectual animal, therefore an everlasting
+contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas
+reach to the ends of the universe; so that he is torn in pieces
+between the two without the possibility of its ever being otherwise.
+A mere physical being or a pure spirit can alone be satisfied with
+itself.
+
+                                                      _Hazlitt._

+
+The pure in heart, who fear to sin,
+The good, kindly in word and deed—
+These are the beings in the world
+Whose nature should be called divine.
+

+130.
+
+If thou desirest that the pure in heart should praise thee, lay
+aside anger; be not a man of many words; and parade not thy virtues
+in the face of others.

+
+A wise man takes a step at a time; he establishes one foot before he
+takes up the other: an old place should not be forsaken recklessly.

+
+The fish dwell in the depths of the waters, and the eagles in the

+
+The life of man is the incessant walk of nature, wherein every
+moment is a step towards death. Even our growing to perfection is a
+progress to decay. Every thought we have is a sand running out of
+the glass of life.

+
+’Tis not for gain, for fame, from fear
+  That righteous men injustice shun,
+And virtuous men hold virtue dear:
+An inward voice they seem to hear,
+  Which tells them duty must be done.
+

+
+In this world, however little happiness may have been our portion,
+yet have we no desire to die. Whether he can speak of life as
+cheerful and delicate, or as full of pain, anxiety, and sorrow,
+never yet have I seen one who wished to die.

+When morning silvers the dark firmament,

+In the body restraint is good; good is restraint in speech; in

+
+Men say that everyone is naturally a lover of himself, and that it
+is right that it should be so. This is a mistake; for in fact the
+cause of all the blunders committed by man arises from this
+excessive self-love. For the lover is blinded by the object loved,
+so that he passes a wrong judgment upon what is just, good, and
+beautiful, thinking that he ought always to honour what belongs to
+himself, in preference to truth. For he who intends to be a great
+man ought to love neither himself nor his own things, but only what
+is just, whether it happens to be done by himself or by another.

+A man eminent in learning has not even a little virtue if he fears

+when he holds a lamp in his hand?

+The first forty years of our life give the text, the next thirty
+furnish the commentary upon it, which enables us rightly to
+understand the true meaning and connection of the text with its

+
+Good actions lead to success, as good medicines to a cure: a healthy
+man is joyful, and a diligent man attains learning; a just man gains

+Purpose without power is mere weakness and deception; and power

+
+Whate’er the work a man performs,

+Is energy, without despondency.

+

+150.
+
+Humility is a virtue all preach, none practise, and yet everybody is
+content to hear. The master thinks it good doctrine for his servant,
+the laity for the clergy, and the clergy for the laity.

+
+Authority intoxicates,
+And makes mere sots of magistrates;
+The fumes of it invade the brain,
+And make men giddy, proud, and vain;
+By this the fool commands the wise,
+The noble with the base complies,
+The sot assumes the rule of wit,
+And cowards make the base submit.

+
+No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he
+rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own
+measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other
+men; it is life that touches his genuine worth.

+
+He who devises evil for another falls at last into his own pit, and

+with greater vigour when it is oppressed.

+
+Laughing is peculiar to man, but all men do not laugh for the same
+reason. There is the attic salt which springs from the charm in the
+words, from the flash of wit, from the spirited and brilliant sally.
+There is the low joke which arises from scurrility and idle conceit.

+168.
+
+In some dispositions there is such an envious kind of pride that
+they cannot endure that any but themselves should be set forth as
+excellent; so that when they hear one justly praised they will
+either openly detract from his virtues; or, if those virtues be,
+like a clear and shining light, eminent and distinguished, so that
+he cannot be safely traduced by the tongue, they will then raise a
+suspicion against him by a mysterious silence, as if there were
+something remaining to be told which overclouded even his brightest
+glory.

+Every man thinks with himself, I am well, I am wise, and laughs at

+If you wish to know how much preferable wisdom is to gold, then

+It is a proverbial expression that every man is the maker of his own
+fortune, and we usually regard it as implying that every man by his

+the dispositions of Providence as to be happy in our lot, whatever
+may be its privations.

+Be very circumspect in the choice of thy company. In the society of

+Man, though he be gray-headed when he comes back, soon gets a young

+Man is the only animal with the powers of laughter, a privilege

+She is a wife who is notable in her house; she is a wife who beareth

+Whosoever does not persecute them that persecute him; whosoever

+Ask not a man who his father was but make trial of his qualities,

+If thou desire not to be poor, desire not to be too rich. He is

+To form a judgment intuitively is the privilege of few; authority

+
+Poesy is a beauteous damsel, chaste, honourable, discreet, witty,

+gives pleasure and instruction to all with whom she communicates.

+
+Man is supreme lord and master
+Of his own ruin and disaster,
+Controls his fate, but nothing less
+In ordering his own happiness:
+For all his care and providence
+Is too feeble a defence
+To render it secure and certain

+And oft, in spite of all his wit,
+Is lost by one unlucky hit,
+And ruined with a circumstance,
+And mere punctilio of a chance.

+
+Seven things characterise the wise man, and seven the blockhead. The
+wise man speaks not before those who are his superiors, either in
+age or wisdom. He interrupts not others in the midst of their
+discourse. He replies not hastily. His questions are relevant to the
+subject, his answers, to the purpose. In delivering his sentiments
+he taketh the first in order first, the last, last. What he
+understands not he says, “I understand not.” He acknowledges his
+error, and is open to conviction. The reverse of all this
+characterises the blockhead.

+
+How absolute and omnipotent is the silence of the night! And yet the
+stillness seems almost audible. From all the measureless depths of
+air around us comes a half sound, a half whisper, as if we could
+hear the crumbling and falling away of the earth and all created
+things in the great miracle of nature—decay and reproduction—ever
+beginning, never ending—the gradual lapse and running of the sand
+in the great hour-glass of Time.

+The mind alike,
+Vigorous or weak, is capable of culture,

+
+One man envies the success in life of another, and hates him in
+secret; nor is he willing to give him good advice when he is
+consulted, except it be by some wonderful effort of good feeling,
+and there are, alas, few such men in the world. A real friend, on
+the other hand, exults in his friend’s happiness, rejoices in all
+his joys, and is ready to afford him the best advice.

+It is a kind of policy in these days to prefix a fantastical title

+
+We cannot too soon convince ourselves how easily we may be dispensed
+with in the world. What important personages we imagine ourselves to
+be! We think that we alone are the life of the circle in which we
+move; in our absence, we fancy that life, existence, breath will
+come to a general pause, and, alas, the gap which we leave is
+scarcely perceptible, so quickly is it filled again; nay, it is
+often the place, if not of something better, at least for something
+more agreeable.

+
+The friendships formed between good and evil men differ. The

+All love, at first, like generous wine,

+Becomes the richer still the older,

+
+He who receives a favour must retain a recollection of it for all

+
+In all things, to serve from the lowest station upwards is

+paradoxically, in the one thing which he does rightly he sees the
+likeness of all that is done rightly.

+
+Misanthropy ariseth from a man trusting another without having
+sufficient knowledge of his character, and, thinking him to be
+truthful, sincere, and honourable, finds a little afterwards that he
+is wicked, faithless, and then he meets with another of the same
+character. When a man experiences this often, and more particularly
+from those whom he considered his most dear and best friends, at
+last, having frequently made a slip, he hates the whole world, and
+thinks that there is nothing sound at all in any of them.

+Pleasure, most often delusive, may be born of delusion. Pleasure,

+truth for its foundation.

+
+Entangled in a hundred worldly snares,
+Self-seeking men, by ignorance deluded,
+Strive by unrighteous means to pile up riches.
+Then, in their self-complacency, they say,
+“This acquisition I have made to-day,
+That will I gain to-morrow, so much pelf
+Is hoarded up already, so much more
+Remains that I have yet to treasure up.
+This enemy I have destroyed, him also,
+And others in their turn, I will despatch.
+I am a lord; I will enjoy myself;
+I’m wealthy, noble, strong, successful, happy;
+I’m absolutely perfect; no one else
+In all the world can be compared to me.
+Now will I offer up a sacrifice,
+Give gifts with lavish hand, and be triumphant.”
+Such men, befooled by endless vain conceits,
+Caught in the meshes of the world’s illusion,
+Immersed in sensuality, descend
+Down to the foulest hell of unclean spirits.[16]

+There needs no other charm, nor conjuror,

+Of knotted wood, in some men’s crazy brains,
+When all the cocks they think they are, and bulls,
+Are only in the insides of their skulls.

+A man who does not endeavour to _seem_ more than he is will

+
+Every man knows his own but not others’ defects and miseries; and
+’tis the nature of all men still to reflect upon themselves their
+own misfortunes, not to examine or consider other men’s, not to
+confer themselves with others; to recount their own miseries but not
+their good gifts, fortunes, benefits which they have, to ruminate on
+their adversity, but not once to think on their prosperity, not what
+they have but what they want.

+Some people, you would think, are made up of nothing but title and

+
+It is very hard for the mind to disengage itself from a subject on

+Man differs from other animals particularly in this, that he is

+
+The hooting fowler seldom takes much game. When a man has a project
+in his mind, digested and fixed by consideration, it is wise to keep
+it secret till the time that his designs arrive at their despatch
+and perfection. He is unwise who brags much either of what he will
+do or what he shall have, for if what he speaks of fall not out
+accordingly, instead of applause, a mock and scorn will follow him.

+
+What is the most profitable? Fellowship with the good. What is the

+In truth and righteousness. Who is the hero? The man who subdues his
+senses. Who is the best beloved? The faithful wife. What is wealth?

+
+If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and
+therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just

+said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared
+to be just to injure any one.[21]

+
+Faith is like love, it cannot be forced. Therefore it is a dangerous

+regulations; for, as the attempt to force love begets hatred, so
+also to compel religious belief produces rank unbelief.

+
+We are like vessels tossed on the bosom of the deep; our passions

+us, but often allows itself to be led astray by the storms of pride.

+
+In all that belongs to man you cannot find a greater wonder than
+memory. What a treasury of all things! What a record! What a journal

+circumspect, had furnished him with an account-book, to carry always
+with him. Yet it neither burthens nor takes up room.

+
+In thy apparel avoid singularity, profuseness, and gaudiness. Be not

+We have more faith in a well-written romance while we are reading it

+
+We magnify the wealthy man, though his parts be never so poor. The

+
+There is nothing more operative than sedulity and diligence. A man

+steps whereby to climb to any excellence, nay, it is rare that there
+is any other other way.

+Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner.

+
+O how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the
+soul. The intellect of man sits enshrined visibly upon his forehead
+and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his
+countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only, as God
+revealed himself to the prophet in the still small voice, and in a
+voice from the Burning Bush. The soul of man is audible, not
+visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain
+invisible to man.

+In poverty and other misfortunes of life men think friends to be

+We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself,

+
+It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that

+Law does not put the least restraint

+
+Wickedness, by whomsoever committed, is odious, but most of all in

+It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into

+478.
+
+There is nothing more becoming a wise man than to make choice of
+friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art. Let them
+therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee
+for gain; but make election rather of thy betters than thy
+inferiors; shunning always such as are poor and needy, for if thou
+givest twenty gifts and refuse to do the like but once, all that

+Low-minded men are occupied solely with their own affairs, but

+Envy is a vice that would pose a man to tell what it should be liked
+for. Other vices we assume for that we falsely suppose they bring us
+either pleasure, profit, or honour. But in envy who is it can find
+any of these? Instead of pleasure, we vex and gall ourselves. Like
+cankered brass, it only eats itself, nay, discolours and renders it
+noisome. When some one told Agis that those of his neighbour’s

+The most silent people are generally those who think most highly of

+
+Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or

+of society is that it is commonplace. Our fancied superiority to

+
+548.
+
+Modesty is attended with profit, arrogance brings on destruction.
+
+                                                      _Chinese._
+
+
+549.
+
+The greatest hatred, like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, is
+quiet.
+
+                                                      _Richter._
+
+
+550.
+
+Is a preface exquisitely written? No literary morsel is more
+delicious. Is the author inveterately dull? It is a kind of
+preparatory information, which may be very useful. It argues a
+deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread: for it
+is the attar of the author’s roses, every drop distilled at an
+immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of
+the foolish.
+
+                                              _Isaac D’Israeli._

+
+Vulgar prejudices are those which arise out of accident, ignorance,
+or authority; natural prejudices are those which arise out of the
+constitution of the human mind itself.
+
+                                                      _Hazlitt._

+
+Lament not Fortune’s mutability,
+And seize her fickle favours ere they flee;
+  If others never mourned departed bliss,
+How should a turn of Fortune come to thee?
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayyām._
+
+
+553.
+
+Harsh reproof is like a violent storm, soon washed down the channel;
+but friendly admonitions, like a small shower, pierce deep, and
+bring forth better reformation.
+
+                                               _R. Chamberlain._
+
+
+554.
+
+There are braying men in the world as well as braying asses; for
+what’s loud and senseless talking, huffing, and swearing any other
+than a more fashionable way of braying?
+
+                                                   _L’Estrange._
+
+
+555.
+
+All wit and fancy, like a diamond,
+The more exact and curious ’tis ground,
+Is forced for every carat to abate
+As much of value as it wants in weight.
+
+                                                       _Butler._
+
+
+556.
+
+Listen, if you would learn; be silent, if you would be safe.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+
+
+557.
+
+All such distinctions as tend to set the orders of the state at a
+distance from each other are equally subversive of liberty and
+concord.
+
+                                                         _Livy._
+
+
+558.
+
+No man is the wiser for his learning. It may administer matter to
+work in, or objects to work upon, but wit and wisdom are born with a
+man.
+
+                                                       _Selden._

+
+Those who are guided by reason are generally successful in their
+plans; those who are rash and precipitate seldom enjoy the favour of
+the gods.
+
+                                                    _Herodotus._
+
+
+560.
+
+Whosoever lends a greedy ear to a slanderous report is either
+himself of a radically bad disposition or a mere child in sense.
+
+                                                     _Menander._
+
+
+561.
+
+A foolish man in wealth and authority is like a weak-timbered house
+with a too-ponderous roof.
+
+                                               _R. Chamberlain._
+
+
+562.
+
+A lively blockhead in company is a public benefit. Silence or
+dulness by the side of folly looks like wisdom.
+
+                                                      _Hazlitt._

+
+Eminent positions make eminent men greater and little men less.
+

+
+
+564.
+
+Scratch yourself with your own nails; always do your own business,
+and when you intend asking for a service, go to a person who can
+appreciate your merit.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+
+
+565.
+
+The beauty of some women has days and seasons, depending upon
+accidents which diminish or increase it; nay, the very passions of
+the mind naturally improve or impair it, and very often utterly
+destroy it.
+
+                                                    _Cervantes._
+

+
+No joy in nature is so sublimely affecting as the joy of a mother at
+the good fortune of a child.
+
+                                                      _Richter._

+
+Want and sorrow are the gifts which folly earns for itself.
+

+

+
+In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme
+excellence is simplicity.
+

+
+Those who cause dissensions in order to injure other people are
+preparing pitfalls for their own ruin.
+
+                                                      _Chinese._
+
+
+570.
+
+Such deeds as thou with fear and grief
+Wouldst, on a sick-bed laid, recall,
+In youth and health eschew them all,
+Remembering life is frail and brief.
+
+                                                  _Mahābhārata._
+
+
+571.
+
+A man should not keep company with one whose character, family, and
+abode are unknown.
+
+                                                 _Panchatantra._
+

+
+Sit not down to the table before thy stomach is empty, and rise
+before thou hast filled it.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+

+573.
+
+If thou be rich, strive to command thy money, lest it command thee.
+
+                                                      _Quarles._

+574.
+
+In all companies there are more fools than wise men, and the greater
+part always gets the better of the wiser.
+
+                                                     _Rabelais._
+
+
+575.
+
+Talents are best nurtured in solitude; character is best formed in
+the stormy billows of the world.
+
+                                                       _Goethe._
+
+
+576.
+
+No one ought to despond in adverse circumstances, for they may turn
+out to be the cause of good to us.[30]
+
+                                                     _Menander._
+
+    [30] Cf. Job V, 17; Heb. XII, 6.
+
+
+577.
+
+The constant man loses not his virtue in misfortune. A torch may
+point towards the ground, but its flame will still point upwards.
+
+                                                  _Bhartrihari._
+
+
+578.
+
+A man should never despise himself, for brilliant success never
+attends on the man who is contemned by himself.
+
+                                                  _Mahābhārata._
+
+
+579.
+
+It is the character of a simpleton to be a bore. A man of sense sees
+at once whether he is welcome or tiresome; he knows to withdraw the
+moment that precedes that in which he would be in the least in the
+way.
+
+                                                   _La Bruyère._
+
+
+580.
+
+The man of first rate excellence is virtuous in spite of
+instruction; he of the middle class is so after instruction; the
+lowest order of men are vicious in spite of instruction.
+
+                                                      _Chinese._
+
+
+581.
+
+Not to attend at the door of the wealthy, and not to use the voice
+of petition—these constitute the best life of a man.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+582.
+
+What a man can do and suffer is unknown to himself till some
+occasion presents itself which draws out the hidden power. Just as
+one sees not in the water of an unruffled pond the fury and roar
+with which it can dash down a steep rock without injury to itself,
+or how high it is capable of rising; or as little as one can suspect
+the latent heat in ice-cold water.
+
+                                                 _Schopenhauer._
+
+
+583.
+
+Comprehensive talkers are apt to be tiresome when we are not athirst
+for information; but, to be quite fair, we must admit that superior
+reticence is a good deal due to lack of matter. Speech is often
+barren, but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full
+nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the
+while be sitting on one addled nest-egg; and, when it takes to
+cackling, will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
+
+                                                 _George Eliot._
+
+
+584.
+
+The sage who engages in controversy with ignorant people must not
+expect to be treated with honour; and if a fool should overpower a
+philosopher by his loquacity it is not to be wondered at, for a
+common stone will break a jewel.
+
+                                                        _Sa’dī._
+
+
+585.
+
+Success is like a lovely woman, wooed by many men, but folded in the
+arms of him alone who, free from over-zeal, firmly persists and
+calmly perseveres.
+
+                                                      _Bhāravi._
+
+
+586.
+
+A feverish display of over-zeal,
+At the first outset, is an obstacle
+To all success; water, however cold,
+Will penetrate the ground by slow degrees.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+587.
+
+Treat no one with disdain; with patience bear
+Reviling language; with an angry man
+Be never angry; blessings give for curses.[31]
+
+                                                         _Manu._
+
+    [31] Cf. Matt. V, II, 44.
+
+
+588.
+
+E’en as a traveller, meeting with the shade
+Of some o’erhanging tree, awhile reposes,
+Then leaves its shelter to pursue his way,
+So men meet friends, then part with them for ever.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+589.
+
+Single is every living creature born,
+Single he passes to another world,
+Single he eats the fruit of evil deeds,
+Single, the fruit of good; and when he leaves
+His body, like a log or heap of clay,
+Upon the ground, his kinsmen walk away:
+Virtue alone stays by him at the tomb,
+And bears him through the dreary, trackless gloom.
+
+                                                         _Manu._

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+Cynics may ask, how many have profited by the innumerable proverbs
+and maxims of prudence which have been current in the world time out
+of mind? They will say that their only use is to repeat them after
+some unhappy wight has "gone wrong." When, for instance, a man has
+played "ducks and drakes" with his money, the fact at once calls up
+the proverb which declares that "wilful waste leads to woful want";
+but did not the "waster" know this well-worn saying from his early
+years _downwards_? What good, then, did it do him? Again, how many
+have been benefited by the saying of the ancient Greek poet, that
+"evil communications corrupt good manners"?--albeit they had it
+frequently before them in their school "copy-books." Are the maxims
+of morality useless, then, because they are so much disregarded?
+
+When a man has reached middle-age he generally feels with tenfold
+force the truth of those "sayings of the wise" which he learned in
+his early years, and has cause to regret, as well as wonder, that he
+had not all along followed their wholesome teaching. For it is to
+the young, who are about to cross the threshold of active life, that
+such terse convincing sentences are more especially addressed, and,
+spite of the proverbial heedlessness of youth, there will be found
+many who are not deaf to this kind of instruction, if their moral
+environment be favourable. But, even after the spring-time of youth
+is past, there are occasions when the mind is peculiarly susceptible
+to the force of a pithy maxim, which may tend to the reforming of
+one's way of life. There is commonly more practical wisdom in a
+striking aphorism than in a round dozen of "goody" books--that is to
+say, books which are not good in the highest sense, because their
+themes are overlaid with commonplace and wearisome reflections.
+
+May we not find the "whole duty of man" condensed into a few brief
+sentences, which have been expressed by thoughtful men in all ages
+and in countries far apart?--such as: "Love thy neighbour as
+thyself," "Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you."
+The chief themes of all teachers of morality are: benevolence and
+beneficence; tolerance of the opinions of others; self-control; the
+acquisition of knowledge--that jewel beyond price; the true uses of
+wealth; the advantages of resolute, manly exertion; the dignity of
+labour; the futility of worldly pleasures; the fugacity of time;
+man's individual insignificance. They are never weary of inculcating
+taciturnity in preference to loquacity, and the virtues of patience
+and resignation. They iterate and reiterate the fact that true
+happiness is to be found only in contentment; and they administer
+consolation and infuse hope by reminding us that as dark days are
+followed by bright days, so times of bitter adversity are followed
+by seasons of sweet prosperity; and thus, like the immortal Sir
+Hudibras, when "in doleful dumps", we may "cheer ourselves with ends
+of verse, and sayings of philosophers."
+
+In the following small selection of aphorisms, a considerable
+proportion are drawn from Eastern literature. Indian wisdom is
+represented by passages from the great epics, the _Mah�bh�rata_ and
+the _R�m�yana_; the _Panchatantra_ and the _Hitopadesa_, two
+Sanskrit versions of the famous collection of apologues known in
+Europe as the Fables of Bidpa�, or Pilpay; the _Dharma-sastra_ of
+Manu; Bh�ravi, M�gha, Bhartrihari, and other Hindu poets. Specimens
+of the mild teachings of Buddha and his more notable followers are
+taken from the _Dhammapada_ (Path of Virtue) and other canonical
+works; pregnant sayings of the Jewish Fathers, from the Talmud;
+Moslem moral philosophy is represented by extracts from Arabic and
+Persian writers (among the great poets of Persia are, Firdaus�,
+Sa'd�, H�fiz, Niz�m�, Omar Khayy�m, J�m�); while the proverbial
+wisdom of the Chinese and the didactic writings of the sages of
+Burmah are also occasionally cited.
+
+The ordinary reader will probably be somewhat surprised to discover
+in the aphorisms of the ancient Greeks and Hindus several close
+parallels to the doctrines of the Old and New Testaments, and he
+will have reasoned justly if he conclude that the so-called
+"heathens" could have derived their spiritual light only from the
+same Source as that which inspired the Hebrew prophets and the
+Christian apostles.
+
+Among English writers of aphorisms Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, is
+pre-eminent, but none of his pithy sentences find place here,
+because they are procurable in many inexpensive forms, (_e.g._,
+_Counsels from my Lord Bacon_, 1892), and must be familiar to what is
+termed "the average general reader." _The Enchiridion_ of Frances
+Quarles and the _Resolves_ of Owen Feltham are, however, laid under
+contribution, as also Robert Chamberlain, an author who is probably
+unknown to many pluming themselves on their thorough acquaintance
+with English literature, some of whose aphorisms (published in 1638,
+under the title of _Nocturnal Lucubrations_) I have deemed worthy of
+reproduction.
+
+In more modern times, with the sole exception of William Hazlitt,
+our country has produced no very successful writer of aphorisms.
+Colton's _Lacon; or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those
+who Think_, went through several editions soon after its first
+publication in 1820; it is described by Mr. John Morley--and not
+unfairly--as being "so vapid, so wordy, so futile as to have a place
+among those books which dispense with parody"; it is "an awful
+example to anyone who is tempted to try his hand at an aphorism."
+Mr. Morley is hardly less severe in speaking of the "Thoughts" in
+_Theophrastus Such_: "the most insufferable of all deadly-lively
+prosing in our sublunary world." However this may be, assuredly
+other works of the author of _Adam Bede_ will be found to furnish
+many examples of admirable apothegms.
+
+It only remains to add that, bearing in mind that a great collection
+of gravities commonly proves quite as wearisome reading as a large
+compilation of gaieties, or faceti�, I have confined my selection of
+"sayings of the wise" within the limits of a pocket-volume.
+
+                                                        W. A. C.

+
+
+
+BOOK OF WISE SAYINGS.
+
+
+1.
+
+The enemies which rise within the body, hard to be overcome--thy
+evil passions--should manfully be fought: he who conquers these is
+equal to the conquerors of worlds.
+
+                                                      _Bh�ravi._
+
+
+2.
+
+If passion gaineth the mastery over reason, the wise will not count
+thee amongst men.
+
+                                                      _Firdaus�._
+
+
+3.
+
+Knowledge is destroyed by associating with the base; with equals
+equality is gained, and with the distinguished, distinction.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+4.
+
+Dost thou desire that thine own heart should not suffer, redeem thou
+the sufferer from the bonds of misery.
+
+                                                        _Sa'd�._
+
+
+5.
+
+To friends and eke to foes true kindness show;
+No kindly heart unkindly deeds will do;
+  Harshness will alienate a bosom friend.
+And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayy�m._
+
+
+6.
+
+There is no greater grief in misery than to turn our thoughts back
+to happier times.[1]
+
+                                                        _Dante._
+
+    [1] Cf. Goldsmith:
+
+          O Memory! thou fond deceiver,
+            Still importunate and vain;
+          To former joys recurring ever,
+            And turning all the past to pain.
+
+
+7.
+
+We in reality only know when we doubt a little. With knowledge comes
+doubt.
+
+                                                       _Goethe._
+
+
+8.
+
+In the hour of adversity be not without hope, for crystal rain falls
+from black clouds.
+
+                                                       _Niz�m�._
+
+
+9.
+
+One common origin unites us all, but every sort of wood does not
+give the perfume of the lignum aloes.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+
+
+10.
+
+I asked an experienced elder who had profited by his knowledge of
+the world, "What course should I pursue to obtain prosperity?" He
+replied, "Contentment--if you are able, practise contentment."
+
+                                                       _Selman._
+
+
+11.
+
+Every moment that a man may be in want of employment, than such I
+hold him to be far better who is forced to labour for nothing.
+
+                                                       _Afghan._
+
+
+12.
+
+The foolish undertake a trifling act, and soon desist, discouraged;
+wise men engage in mighty works, and persevere.
+
+                                                        _M�gha._
+
+
+13.
+
+Those who wish well towards their friends disdain to please them
+with words which are not true.
+
+                                                      _Bh�ravi._
+
+
+14.
+
+Reason is captive in the hands of the passions, as a weak man in the
+hands of an artful woman.
+
+                                                        _Sa'd�._
+
+
+15.
+
+Like an earthen pot, a bad man is easily broken, and cannot readily
+be restored to his former situation; but a virtuous man, like a vase
+of gold, is broken with difficulty, and easily repaired.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+16.
+
+The son who delights his father by his good actions; the wife who
+seeks only her husband's good; the friend who is the same in
+prosperity and adversity--these three things are the reward of
+virtue.
+
+                                                  _Bhartrihari._
+
+
+17.
+
+Let us not overstrain our abilities, or we shall do nothing with
+grace. A clown, whatever he may do, will never pass for a gentleman.
+
+                                                  _La Fontaine._
+
+
+18.
+
+To abstain from speaking is regarded as very difficult. It is not
+possible to say much that is valuable and striking.[2]
+
+                                                  _Mah�bh�rata._
+
+    [2] Cf. James, III, 8.
+
+
+19.
+
+Pagodas are, like mosques, true houses of prayer;
+'Tis prayer that church bells waft upon the air;
+  Kaaba and temple, rosary and cross,
+All are but divers tongues of world-wide prayer.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayy�m._
+
+
+20.
+
+In no wise ask about the faults of others, for he who reporteth the
+faults of others will report thine also.
+
+                                                     _Firdaus�._
+
+
+21.
+
+He that holds fast the golden mean,
+And lives contentedly between
+  The little and the great,
+Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
+Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door,
+  Embittering all his state.
+
+                                                       _Horace._
+
+
+22.
+
+Nothing is more becoming a man than silence. It is not the preaching
+but the practice which ought to be considered as the more important.
+A profusion of words is sure to lead to error.
+
+                                                       _Talmud._
+
+
+23.
+
+Consider, and you will find that almost all the transactions of the
+time of Vespasian differed little from those of the present day. You
+there find marrying and giving in marriage, educating children,
+sickness, death, war, joyous holidays, traffic, agriculture,
+flatterers, insolent pride, suspicions, laying of plots, longing for
+the death of others, newsmongers, lovers, misers, men canvassing for
+consulship--yet all these passed away, and are nowhere.
+
+                                                  _M. Aurelius._
+
+
+24.

+The friendship of the bad is like the shade of some precipitous bank

+Death comes, and makes a man his prey,
+  A man whose powers are yet unspent;
+  Like one on gathering flowers intent,
+Whose thoughts are turned another way.
+
+Begin betimes to practise good,

+To-morrow's task to-day conclude.[4]

+Let a man's talents or virtues be what they may, we feel
+satisfaction in his society only as he is satisfied in himself. We
+cannot enjoy the good qualities of a friend if he seems to be none

+
+It was a false maxim of Domitian that he who would gain the people
+of Rome must promise all things and perform nothing. For when a man
+is known to be false in his word, instead of a column, which he
+might be by keeping it, for others to rest upon, he becomes a reed,
+which no man will vouchsafe to lean upon. Like a floating island,
+when we come next day to seek it, it is carried from the place we
+left it in, and, instead of earth to build upon, we find nothing but
+inconstant and deceiving waves.

+
+In the height of thy prosperity expect adversity, but fear it not.
+If it come not, thou art the more sweetly possessed of the happiness

+more gently dispossessed of the happiness thou hadst, and the more
+firmly prepared.

+Men are of three different capacities: one understands intuitively;

+understands neither of himself nor by explanation. The first is
+excellent, the second, commendable, and the third, altogether

+
+Man is an actor who plays various parts:
+First comes a boy, then out a lover starts;
+His garb is changed for, lo! a beggar's rags;
+Then he's a merchant with full money-bags;
+Anon, an aged sire, wrinkled and lean;
+At last Death drops the curtain on the scene.[5]

+Men soon the faults of others learn,

+
+In conversation humour is more than wit, easiness, more than
+knowledge; few desire to learn, or to think they need it; all desire
+to be pleased, or, if not, to be easy.

+
+The round of a passionate man's life is in contracting debts in his
+passion which his virtue obliges him to pay. He spends his time in
+outrage and acknowledgment, injury and reparation.
+
+                                                      _Johnson._
+
+
+75.
+
+To reprehend well is the most necessary and the hardest part of
+friendship. Who is it that does not sometimes merit a check, and yet
+how few will endure one? Yet wherein can a friend more unfold his
+love than in preventing dangers before their birth, or in bringing a
+man to safety who is travelling on the road to ruin? I grant there
+is a manner of reprehending which turns a benefit into an injury,
+and then it both strengthens error and wounds the giver. When thou
+chidest thy wandering friend do it secretly, in season, in love, not
+in the ear of a popular convention, for oftentimes the presence of a
+multitude makes a man take up an unjust defence, rather than fall
+into a just shame.

+He who seeks wealth sacrifices his own pleasure, and, like him who

+A woman will not throw away a garland, though soiled, which her

+As drops of bitter medicine, though minute, may have a salutary

+rouse the prostrate energies of those who meet misfortune with
+despondency.

+
+An indiscreet man is more hurtful than an ill-natured one; for as

+the other injures indifferently both his friends and foes.

+
+A good man's intellect is piercing, yet inflicts no wound; his

+Our writings are like so many dishes, our readers, our guests, our
+books, like beauty--that which one admires another rejects; so we
+are approved as men's fancies are inclined.... As apothecaries, we
+make new mixtures every day, pour out of one vessel into another;
+and as those old Romans robbed all cities of the world to set out
+their bad-cited Rome, we skim off the cream of other men's wits,
+pick the choice flowers of their tilled gardens, to set out our own
+sterile plots. We weave the same web still, twist the same rope
+again and again; or, if it be a new invention, 'tis but some bauble
+or toy, which idle fellows write, for as idle fellows to read.[8]

+It is our follies that make our lives uncomfortable. Our errors of

+Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure

+In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the
+more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to
+its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite
+good, in which all finite things are resolved.

+
+Poverty, we may say, surrounds a man with ready-made barriers, which
+if they do mournfully gall and hamper, do at least prescribe for
+him, and force on him, a sort of course and goal; a safe and beaten,
+though a circuitous, course. A great part of his guidance is secure
+against fatal error, is withdrawn from his control. The rich, again,
+has his whole life to guide, without goal or barrier, save of his
+own choosing, and, tempted, is too likely to guide it ill.

+
+In the life of every man there are sudden transitions of feeling,

+Man is an intellectual animal, therefore an everlasting
+contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas

+A mere physical being or a pure spirit can alone be satisfied with
+itself.

+
+Men say that everyone is naturally a lover of himself, and that it
+is right that it should be so. This is a mistake; for in fact the
+cause of all the blunders committed by man arises from this
+excessive self-love. For the lover is blinded by the object loved,
+so that he passes a wrong judgment upon what is just, good, and
+beautiful, thinking that he ought always to honour what belongs to
+himself, in preference to truth. For he who intends to be a great
+man ought to love neither himself nor his own things, but only what
+is just, whether it happens to be done by himself or by another.

+There are three things to beware of through life: when a man is

+
+Laughing is peculiar to man, but all men do not laugh for the same
+reason. There is the attic salt which springs from the charm in the
+words, from the flash of wit, from the spirited and brilliant sally.
+There is the low joke which arises from scurrility and idle conceit.

+
+In some dispositions there is such an envious kind of pride that
+they cannot endure that any but themselves should be set forth as
+excellent; so that when they hear one justly praised they will
+either openly detract from his virtues; or, if those virtues be,
+like a clear and shining light, eminent and distinguished, so that
+he cannot be safely traduced by the tongue, they will then raise a
+suspicion against him by a mysterious silence, as if there were
+something remaining to be told which overclouded even his brightest
+glory.

+Every man thinks with himself, I am well, I am wise, and laughs at

+If you wish to know how much preferable wisdom is to gold, then

+before.

+
+It is a proverbial expression that every man is the maker of his own
+fortune, and we usually regard it as implying that every man by his
+folly or wisdom prepares good or evil for himself. But we may view
+it in another light, namely, that we may so accommodate ourselves to
+the dispositions of Providence as to be happy in our lot, whatever
+may be its privations.

+
+Be very circumspect in the choice of thy company. In the society of

+worst there.

+
+Man, though he be gray-headed when he comes back, soon gets a young

+Man is the only animal with the powers of laughter, a privilege
+which was not bestowed on him for nothing. Let us then laugh while
+we may, no matter how broad the laugh may be, and despite of what

+The mind should occasionally be vacant, as the land should sometimes
+lie fallow, and for precisely the same reason.

+The man of affluence is not in fact more happy than the possessor of

+A wound inflicted by arrows heals, a wood cut down by an axe grows,

+
+One of the diseases of this age is the multitude of books. It is a
+thriftless and a thankless occupation, this writing of books: a man

+from the judicious, he shall be sure to reap a thousand reproaches

+She is a wife who is notable in her house; she is a wife who beareth

+who is obedient to her lord. The wife is half the man; a wife is
+man's dearest friend; a wife is the source of his religion, his
+worldly profit, and his love. He who hath a wife maketh offerings in
+his house. Those who have wives are blest with good fortune. Wives
+are friends, who, by their kind and gentle speech, soothe you in
+your retirement. In your distresses they are as mothers, and they
+are refreshment to those who are travellers in the rugged paths of

+
+Man is supreme lord and master

+Seven things characterise the wise man, and seven the blockhead. The
+wise man speaks not before those who are his superiors, either in
+age or wisdom. He interrupts not others in the midst of their
+discourse. He replies not hastily. His questions are relevant to the
+subject, his answers, to the purpose. In delivering his sentiments
+he taketh the first in order first, the last, last. What he
+understands not he says, "I understand not." He acknowledges his
+error, and is open to conviction. The reverse of all this
+characterises the blockhead.

+How absolute and omnipotent is the silence of the night! And yet the

+beginning, never ending--the gradual lapse and running of the sand
+in the great hour-glass of Time.

+One man envies the success in life of another, and hates him in

+It is a kind of policy in these days to prefix a fantastical title

+
+We cannot too soon convince ourselves how easily we may be dispensed

+be! We think that we alone are the life of the circle in which we
+move; in our absence, we fancy that life, existence, breath will

+often the place, if not of something better, at least for something
+more agreeable.

+All love, at first, like generous wine,

+He who receives a favour must retain a recollection of it for all

+Misanthropy ariseth from a man trusting another without having

+thinks that there is nothing sound at all in any of them.

+I am a lord; I will enjoy myself;
+I'm wealthy, noble, strong, successful, happy;

+Faith is like love, it cannot be forced. Therefore it is a dangerous
+operation if an attempt be made to introduce or bind it by state
+regulations; for, as the attempt to force love begets hatred, so

+
+We are like vessels tossed on the bosom of the deep; our passions

+rock; the whole life is a wide ocean. Reason is the pilot to guide
+us, but often allows itself to be led astray by the storms of pride.

+Empty is the house of a childless man; as empty is the mind of a

+
+In all that belongs to man you cannot find a greater wonder than
+memory. What a treasury of all things! What a record! What a journal

+circumspect, had furnished him with an account-book, to carry always
+with him. Yet it neither burthens nor takes up room.

+
+In thy apparel avoid singularity, profuseness, and gaudiness. Be not

+We have more faith in a well-written romance while we are reading it

+There is nothing more operative than sedulity and diligence. A man

+Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner.

+O how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the

+It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into

+
+There is nothing more becoming a wise man than to make choice of
+friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art. Let them
+therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee
+for gain; but make election rather of thy betters than thy
+inferiors; shunning always such as are poor and needy, for if thou
+givest twenty gifts and refuse to do the like but once, all that
+thou hast done will be lost, and such men will become thy mortal

+Low-minded men are occupied solely with their own affairs, but

+A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but

+It is true that men are no fit judges of themselves, because

+
+Envy is a vice that would pose a man to tell what it should be liked
+for. Other vices we assume for that we falsely suppose they bring us
+either pleasure, profit, or honour. But in envy who is it can find
+any of these? Instead of pleasure, we vex and gall ourselves. Like
+cankered brass, it only eats itself, nay, discolours and renders it
+noisome. When some one told Agis that those of his neighbour's

+The most silent people are generally those who think most highly of

+or that the conversation was beneath them.

+If a man die young he hath left us at dinner; it is bed-time with a
+man of three score and ten; and he that lives a hundred years hath
+walked a mile after supper. This life is but one day of three meals,

+well is to live well, and that's the way to sleep well.

+
+Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or
+absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or
+dwarfs. The heaviest charge we can bring against the general texture
+of society is that it is commonplace. Our fancied superiority to
+others is in some one thing which we think most of because we excel
+in it, or have paid most attention to it; whilst we overlook their
+superiority to us in something else which they set equal and
+exclusive store by.

+
+It is resignation and contentment that are best calculated to lead
+us safely through life. Whoever has not sufficient power to endure
+privations, and even suffering, can never feel that he is
+armour-proof against painful emotions; nay, he must attribute to
+himself, or at least to the morbid sensitiveness of his nature,
+every disagreeable feeling he may suffer.

+Petrarch observes, that we change language, habits, laws, customs,
+manners, but not vices, not diseases, not the symptoms of folly and
+madness--they are still the same. And as a river, we see, keeps the
+like name and place, but not water, and yet ever runs, our times and
+persons alter, vices are the same, and ever be. Look how
+nightingales sang of old, cocks crowed, kine lowed, sheep bleated,
+sparrows chirped, dogs barked, so they do still: we keep our madness
+still, play the fool still; we are of the same humours and
+inclinations as our predecessors were; you shall find us all alike,
+much as one, we and our sons, and so shall our posterity continue to
+the last.

+Heaven's gate is narrow and minute,[29]
+It cannot be perceived by foolish men,

+
+Is a preface exquisitely written? No literary morsel is more
+delicious. Is the author inveterately dull? It is a kind of
+preparatory information, which may be very useful. It argues a
+deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread: for it
+is the attar of the author's roses, every drop distilled at an
+immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of
+the foolish.

+
+It is the character of a simpleton to be a bore. A man of sense sees
+at once whether he is welcome or tiresome; he knows to withdraw the
+moment that precedes that in which he would be in the least in the

+
+The man of first rate excellence is virtuous in spite of

+
+What a man can do and suffer is unknown to himself till some
+occasion presents itself which draws out the hidden power. Just as
+one sees not in the water of an unruffled pond the fury and roar
+with which it can dash down a steep rock without injury to itself,
+or how high it is capable of rising; or as little as one can suspect
+the latent heat in ice-cold water.

+
+
+583.
+
+Comprehensive talkers are apt to be tiresome when we are not athirst
+for information; but, to be quite fair, we must admit that superior
+reticence is a good deal due to lack of matter. Speech is often
+barren, but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full
+nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the
+while be sitting on one addled nest-egg; and, when it takes to
+cackling, will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.

+
+The sage who engages in controversy with ignorant people must not
+expect to be treated with honour; and if a fool should overpower a
+philosopher by his loquacity it is not to be wondered at, for a
+common stone will break a jewel.

+Success is like a lovely woman, wooed by many men, but folded in the

+calmly perseveres.

+A feverish display of over-zeal,
+At the first outset, is an obstacle
+To all success; water, however cold,
+Will penetrate the ground by slow degrees.

+
+Single is every living creature born,
+Single he passes to another world,
+Single he eats the fruit of evil deeds,
+Single, the fruit of good; and when he leaves
+His body, like a log or heap of clay,
+Upon the ground, his kinsmen walk away:
+Virtue alone stays by him at the tomb,
+And bears him through the dreary, trackless gloom.

+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+		<p><span class="first_word">Cynics</span> may ask, how many have profited by
+			the innumerable proverbs and maxims of
+			prudence which have been current in the world
+			time out of mind? They will say that their only
+			use is to repeat them after some unhappy wight
+			has “gone wrong.” When, for instance, a man has
+			played “ducks and drakes” with his money, the
+			fact at once calls up the proverb which declares
+			that “wilful waste leads to woful want”; but did not
+			the “waster” know this well-worn saying from
+			his early years <em>downwards</em>? What good, then, did
+			it do him? Again, how many have been benefited
+			by the saying of the ancient Greek poet, that
+			“evil communications corrupt good manners”?—albeit
+			they had it frequently before them in their
+			school “copy-books.” Are the maxims of morality
+			useless, then, because they are so much disregarded?</p>
+		<p>When a man has reached middle-age he generally
+			feels with tenfold force the truth of those “sayings
+			of the wise” which he learned in his early years, and
+			has cause to regret, as well as wonder, that he had
+			not all along followed their wholesome teaching.
+			<a class="pagenum" id="page_vi" title="vi"></a>For it is to the young, who are about to cross
+			the threshold of active life, that such terse convincing
+			sentences are more especially addressed, and, spite
+			of the proverbial heedlessness of youth, there will
+			be found many who are not deaf to this kind of
+			instruction, if their moral environment be favourable.
+			But, even after the spring-time of youth is past,
+			there are occasions when the mind is peculiarly
+			susceptible to the force of a pithy maxim, which
+			may tend to the reforming of one’s way of life.
+			There is commonly more practical wisdom in a
+			striking aphorism than in a round dozen of “goody”
+			books—that is to say, books which are not good
+			in the highest sense, because their themes are
+			overlaid with commonplace and wearisome reflections.</p>
+		<p>May we not find the “whole duty of man”
+			condensed into a few brief sentences, which have
+			been expressed by thoughtful men in all ages and in
+			countries far apart?—such as: “Love thy neighbour
+			as thyself,” “Do unto others as ye would that they
+			should do unto you.” The chief themes of all
+			teachers of morality are: benevolence and beneficence;
+			tolerance of the opinions of others; self-control; the
+			acquisition of knowledge—that jewel beyond price;
+			the true uses of wealth; the advantages of resolute,
+			manly exertion; the dignity of labour; the futility
+			of worldly pleasures; the fugacity of time; man’s
+			individual insignificance. They are never weary of
+			inculcating taciturnity in preference to loquacity, and
+			the virtues of patience and resignation. They iterate
+			and reiterate the fact that true happiness is to be
+			found only in contentment; and they administer consolation
+			and infuse hope by reminding us that as
+			dark days are followed by bright days, so times of
+			bitter adversity are followed by seasons of sweet
+			<a class="pagenum" id="page_vii" title="vii"></a>prosperity; and thus, like the immortal Sir Hudibras,
+			when “in doleful dumps”, we may “cheer ourselves
+			with ends of verse, and sayings of philosophers.”</p>
+		<p>In the following small selection of aphorisms,
+			a considerable proportion are drawn from Eastern
+			literature. Indian wisdom is represented by passages
+			from the great epics, the <i>Mahābhārata</i> and the
+			<i>Rāmāyana</i>; the <i>Panchatantra</i> and the <i>Hitopadesa</i>,
+			two Sanskrit versions of the famous collection of
+			apologues known in Europe as the Fables of Bidpaï,
+			or Pilpay; the <i>Dharma-sastra</i> of Manu; Bhāravi,
+			Māgha, Bhartrihari, and other Hindu poets. Specimens
+			of the mild teachings of Buddha and his more
+			notable followers are taken from the <i>Dhammapada</i>
+			(Path of Virtue) and other canonical works; pregnant
+			sayings of the Jewish Fathers, from the Talmud;
+			Moslem moral philosophy is represented by extracts
+			from Arabic and Persian writers (among the great
+			poets of Persia are, Firdausī, Sa’dī, Hāfiz, Nizāmī,
+			Omar Khayyām, Jāmī); while the proverbial wisdom
+			of the Chinese and the didactic writings of the
+			sages of Burmah are also occasionally cited.</p>
+		<p>The ordinary reader will probably be somewhat
+			surprised to discover in the aphorisms of the ancient
+			Greeks and Hindus several close parallels to the
+			doctrines of the Old and New Testaments, and he
+			will have reasoned justly if he conclude that the
+			so-called “heathens” could have derived their spiritual
+			light only from the same Source as that which
+			inspired the Hebrew prophets and the Christian
+			apostles.</p>
+		<p>Among English writers of aphorisms Francis
+			Bacon, Lord Verulam, is pre-eminent, but none
+			of his pithy sentences find place here, because
+			they are procurable in many inexpensive forms,
+			<a class="pagenum" id="page_viii" title="viii"></a>(<i>e.g.</i>, <i>Counsels from my Lord Bacon</i>, 1892), and
+			must be familiar to what is termed “the average
+			general reader.” <i>The Enchiridion</i> of Frances Quarles
+			and the <i>Resolves</i> of Owen Feltham are, however,
+			laid under contribution, as also Robert Chamberlain,
+			an author who is probably unknown to many
+			pluming themselves on their thorough acquaintance
+			with English literature, some of whose aphorisms
+			(published in 1638, under the title of <i>Nocturnal
+			Lucubrations</i>) I have deemed worthy of reproduction.</p>
+		<p>In more modern times, with the sole exception
+			of William Hazlitt, our country has produced no very
+			successful writer of aphorisms. Colton’s <i>Lacon;
+			or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to
+			Those who Think</i>, went through several editions
+			soon after its first publication in 1820; it is
+			described by Mr. John Morley—and not unfairly—as
+			being “so vapid, so wordy, so futile as to have
+			a place among those books which dispense with
+			parody”; it is “an awful example to anyone who
+			is tempted to try his hand at an aphorism.”
+			Mr. Morley is hardly less severe in speaking of the
+			“Thoughts” in <i>Theophrastus Such</i>: “the most
+			insufferable of all deadly-lively prosing in our sublunary
+			world.” However this may be, assuredly other
+			works of the author of <i>Adam Bede</i> will be found
+			to furnish many examples of admirable apothegms.</p>
+		<p>It only remains to add that, bearing in mind
+			that a great collection of gravities commonly proves
+			quite as wearisome reading as a large compilation
+			of gaieties, or facetiæ, I have confined my selection
+			of “sayings of the wise” within the limits of a
+			pocket-volume.</p>

+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+Cynics may ask, how many have profited by the innumerable proverbs
+and maxims of prudence which have been current in the world time out
+of mind? They will say that their only use is to repeat them after
+some unhappy wight has "gone wrong." When, for instance, a man has
+played "ducks and drakes" with his money, the fact at once calls up
+the proverb which declares that "wilful waste leads to woful want";
+but did not the "waster" know this well-worn saying from his early
+years _downwards_? What good, then, did it do him? Again, how many
+have been benefited by the saying of the ancient Greek poet, that
+"evil communications corrupt good manners"?--albeit they had it
+frequently before them in their school "copy-books." Are the maxims
+of morality useless, then, because they are so much disregarded?
+
+When a man has reached middle-age he generally feels with tenfold
+force the truth of those "sayings of the wise" which he learned in
+his early years, and has cause to regret, as well as wonder, that he
+had not all along followed their wholesome teaching. For it is to
+the young, who are about to cross the threshold of active life, that
+such terse convincing sentences are more especially addressed, and,
+spite of the proverbial heedlessness of youth, there will be found
+many who are not deaf to this kind of instruction, if their moral
+environment be favourable. But, even after the spring-time of youth
+is past, there are occasions when the mind is peculiarly susceptible
+to the force of a pithy maxim, which may tend to the reforming of
+one's way of life. There is commonly more practical wisdom in a
+striking aphorism than in a round dozen of "goody" books--that is to
+say, books which are not good in the highest sense, because their
+themes are overlaid with commonplace and wearisome reflections.
+
+May we not find the "whole duty of man" condensed into a few brief
+sentences, which have been expressed by thoughtful men in all ages
+and in countries far apart?--such as: "Love thy neighbour as
+thyself," "Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you."
+The chief themes of all teachers of morality are: benevolence and
+beneficence; tolerance of the opinions of others; self-control; the
+acquisition of knowledge--that jewel beyond price; the true uses of
+wealth; the advantages of resolute, manly exertion; the dignity of
+labour; the futility of worldly pleasures; the fugacity of time;
+man's individual insignificance. They are never weary of inculcating
+taciturnity in preference to loquacity, and the virtues of patience
+and resignation. They iterate and reiterate the fact that true
+happiness is to be found only in contentment; and they administer
+consolation and infuse hope by reminding us that as dark days are
+followed by bright days, so times of bitter adversity are followed
+by seasons of sweet prosperity; and thus, like the immortal Sir
+Hudibras, when "in doleful dumps", we may "cheer ourselves with ends
+of verse, and sayings of philosophers."
+
+In the following small selection of aphorisms, a considerable
+proportion are drawn from Eastern literature. Indian wisdom is
+represented by passages from the great epics, the _Mahabharata_ and
+the _Ramayana_; the _Panchatantra_ and the _Hitopadesa_, two
+Sanskrit versions of the famous collection of apologues known in
+Europe as the Fables of Bidpai, or Pilpay; the _Dharma-sastra_ of
+Manu; Bharavi, Magha, Bhartrihari, and other Hindu poets. Specimens
+of the mild teachings of Buddha and his more notable followers are
+taken from the _Dhammapada_ (Path of Virtue) and other canonical
+works; pregnant sayings of the Jewish Fathers, from the Talmud;
+Moslem moral philosophy is represented by extracts from Arabic and
+Persian writers (among the great poets of Persia are, Firdausi,
+Sa'di, Hafiz, Nizami, Omar Khayyam, Jami); while the proverbial
+wisdom of the Chinese and the didactic writings of the sages of
+Burmah are also occasionally cited.
+
+The ordinary reader will probably be somewhat surprised to discover
+in the aphorisms of the ancient Greeks and Hindus several close
+parallels to the doctrines of the Old and New Testaments, and he
+will have reasoned justly if he conclude that the so-called
+"heathens" could have derived their spiritual light only from the
+same Source as that which inspired the Hebrew prophets and the
+Christian apostles.
+
+Among English writers of aphorisms Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, is
+pre-eminent, but none of his pithy sentences find place here,
+because they are procurable in many inexpensive forms, (_e.g._,
+_Counsels from my Lord Bacon_, 1892), and must be familiar to what is
+termed "the average general reader." _The Enchiridion_ of Frances
+Quarles and the _Resolves_ of Owen Feltham are, however, laid under
+contribution, as also Robert Chamberlain, an author who is probably
+unknown to many pluming themselves on their thorough acquaintance
+with English literature, some of whose aphorisms (published in 1638,
+under the title of _Nocturnal Lucubrations_) I have deemed worthy of
+reproduction.
+
+In more modern times, with the sole exception of William Hazlitt,
+our country has produced no very successful writer of aphorisms.
+Colton's _Lacon; or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those
+who Think_, went through several editions soon after its first
+publication in 1820; it is described by Mr. John Morley--and not
+unfairly--as being "so vapid, so wordy, so futile as to have a place
+among those books which dispense with parody"; it is "an awful
+example to anyone who is tempted to try his hand at an aphorism."
+Mr. Morley is hardly less severe in speaking of the "Thoughts" in
+_Theophrastus Such_: "the most insufferable of all deadly-lively
+prosing in our sublunary world." However this may be, assuredly
+other works of the author of _Adam Bede_ will be found to furnish
+many examples of admirable apothegms.
+
+It only remains to add that, bearing in mind that a great collection
+of gravities commonly proves quite as wearisome reading as a large
+compilation of gaieties, or facetiae, I have confined my selection of
+"sayings of the wise" within the limits of a pocket-volume.
+
+                                                        W. A. C.

+
+BOOK OF WISE SAYINGS.
+
+
+1.
+
+The enemies which rise within the body, hard to be overcome--thy
+evil passions--should manfully be fought: he who conquers these is
+equal to the conquerors of worlds.
+
+                                                      _Bharavi._
+
+
+2.
+
+If passion gaineth the mastery over reason, the wise will not count
+thee amongst men.
+
+                                                      _Firdausi._
+
+
+3.
+
+Knowledge is destroyed by associating with the base; with equals
+equality is gained, and with the distinguished, distinction.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+4.
+
+Dost thou desire that thine own heart should not suffer, redeem thou
+the sufferer from the bonds of misery.
+
+                                                        _Sa'di._
+
+
+5.
+
+To friends and eke to foes true kindness show;
+No kindly heart unkindly deeds will do;
+  Harshness will alienate a bosom friend.
+And kindness reconcile a deadly foe.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayyam._
+
+
+6.
+
+There is no greater grief in misery than to turn our thoughts back
+to happier times.[1]
+
+                                                        _Dante._
+
+    [1] Cf. Goldsmith:
+
+          O Memory! thou fond deceiver,
+            Still importunate and vain;
+          To former joys recurring ever,
+            And turning all the past to pain.
+
+
+7.
+
+We in reality only know when we doubt a little. With knowledge comes
+doubt.
+
+                                                       _Goethe._
+
+
+8.
+
+In the hour of adversity be not without hope, for crystal rain falls
+from black clouds.
+
+                                                       _Nizami._
+
+
+9.
+
+One common origin unites us all, but every sort of wood does not
+give the perfume of the lignum aloes.
+
+                                                       _Arabic._
+
+
+10.
+
+I asked an experienced elder who had profited by his knowledge of
+the world, "What course should I pursue to obtain prosperity?" He
+replied, "Contentment--if you are able, practise contentment."
+
+                                                       _Selman._
+
+
+11.
+
+Every moment that a man may be in want of employment, than such I
+hold him to be far better who is forced to labour for nothing.
+
+                                                       _Afghan._
+
+
+12.
+
+The foolish undertake a trifling act, and soon desist, discouraged;
+wise men engage in mighty works, and persevere.
+
+                                                        _Magha._
+
+
+13.
+
+Those who wish well towards their friends disdain to please them
+with words which are not true.
+
+                                                      _Bharavi._
+
+
+14.
+
+Reason is captive in the hands of the passions, as a weak man in the
+hands of an artful woman.
+
+                                                        _Sa'di._
+
+
+15.
+
+Like an earthen pot, a bad man is easily broken, and cannot readily
+be restored to his former situation; but a virtuous man, like a vase
+of gold, is broken with difficulty, and easily repaired.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+16.
+
+The son who delights his father by his good actions; the wife who
+seeks only her husband's good; the friend who is the same in
+prosperity and adversity--these three things are the reward of
+virtue.
+
+                                                  _Bhartrihari._
+
+
+17.
+
+Let us not overstrain our abilities, or we shall do nothing with
+grace. A clown, whatever he may do, will never pass for a gentleman.
+
+                                                  _La Fontaine._
+
+
+18.
+
+To abstain from speaking is regarded as very difficult. It is not
+possible to say much that is valuable and striking.[2]
+
+                                                  _Mahabharata._
+
+    [2] Cf. James, III, 8.
+
+
+19.
+
+Pagodas are, like mosques, true houses of prayer;
+'Tis prayer that church bells waft upon the air;
+  Kaaba and temple, rosary and cross,
+All are but divers tongues of world-wide prayer.
+
+                                                 _Omar Khayyam._
+
+
+20.
+
+In no wise ask about the faults of others, for he who reporteth the
+faults of others will report thine also.
+
+                                                     _Firdausi._
+
+
+21.
+
+He that holds fast the golden mean,
+And lives contentedly between
+  The little and the great,
+Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
+Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door,
+  Embittering all his state.
+
+                                                       _Horace._
+
+
+22.
+
+Nothing is more becoming a man than silence. It is not the preaching
+but the practice which ought to be considered as the more important.
+A profusion of words is sure to lead to error.
+
+                                                       _Talmud._
+
+
+23.
+
+Consider, and you will find that almost all the transactions of the
+time of Vespasian differed little from those of the present day. You
+there find marrying and giving in marriage, educating children,
+sickness, death, war, joyous holidays, traffic, agriculture,
+flatterers, insolent pride, suspicions, laying of plots, longing for
+the death of others, newsmongers, lovers, misers, men canvassing for
+consulship--yet all these passed away, and are nowhere.
+
+                                                  _M. Aurelius._
+
+
+24.
+
+The friendship of the bad is like the shade of some precipitous bank
+with crumbling sides, which, falling, buries him who is beneath.
+
+                                                      _Bharavi._
+
+
+25.
+
+His action no applause invites
+Who simply good with good repays;
+  He only justly merits praise
+Who wrongful deeds with kind requites.[3]
+
+                                                 _Panchatantra._

+Death comes, and makes a man his prey,
+  A man whose powers are yet unspent;
+  Like one on gathering flowers intent,
+Whose thoughts are turned another way.
+
+Begin betimes to practise good,

+  Amid thy round of schemes and cares;
+To-morrow's task to-day conclude.[4]

+Let a man's talents or virtues be what they may, we feel
+satisfaction in his society only as he is satisfied in himself. We
+cannot enjoy the good qualities of a friend if he seems to be none
+the better for them.

+
+It was a false maxim of Domitian that he who would gain the people
+of Rome must promise all things and perform nothing. For when a man
+is known to be false in his word, instead of a column, which he
+might be by keeping it, for others to rest upon, he becomes a reed,
+which no man will vouchsafe to lean upon. Like a floating island,
+when we come next day to seek it, it is carried from the place we
+left it in, and, instead of earth to build upon, we find nothing but
+inconstant and deceiving waves.

+He is not dead who departs this life with high fame; dead is he,
+though living, whose brow is branded with infamy.

+
+In the height of thy prosperity expect adversity, but fear it not.
+If it come not, thou art the more sweetly possessed of the happiness
+thou hast, and the more strongly confirmed. If it come, thou art the
+more gently dispossessed of the happiness thou hadst, and the more
+firmly prepared.

+
+Men are of three different capacities: one understands intuitively;
+another understands so far as it is explained; and a third
+understands neither of himself nor by explanation. The first is
+excellent, the second, commendable, and the third, altogether
+useless.

+Worldly fame and pleasure are destructive to the virtue of the mind;

+Human experience, like the stern-lights of a ship at sea, illumines

+
+
+37.
+
+Man is an actor who plays various parts:
+First comes a boy, then out a lover starts;
+His garb is changed for, lo! a beggar's rags;
+Then he's a merchant with full money-bags;
+Anon, an aged sire, wrinkled and lean;
+At last Death drops the curtain on the scene.[5]

+Through avarice a man loses his understanding, and by his thirst for

+
+Men soon the faults of others learn,

+  But is there one--I have a doubt--
+Who can his own defects discern?

+Both white and black acknowledge women's sway,

+
+Choose knowledge, if thou desirest a blessing from the Universal

+and it is by knowledge that thou must render thy soul praiseworthy.

+Wrapt up in error is the human mind,

+
+When a base fellow cannot vie with another in merit he will attack

+
+If a man be not so happy as he desires, let this be his comfort--he
+is not so wretched as he deserves.

+                                               _R. Chamberlain._
+

+
+In conversation humour is more than wit, easiness, more than
+knowledge; few desire to learn, or to think they need it; all desire
+to be pleased, or, if not, to be easy.
+
+                                                _Sir W. Temple._

+The greatest men sometimes overshoot themselves, but then their very

+
+We may be as good as we please, if we please to be good.

+                                                       _Barrow._
+
+
+74.
+
+The round of a passionate man's life is in contracting debts in his
+passion which his virtue obliges him to pay. He spends his time in
+outrage and acknowledgment, injury and reparation.
+
+                                                      _Johnson._
+
+
+75.
+
+To reprehend well is the most necessary and the hardest part of
+friendship. Who is it that does not sometimes merit a check, and yet
+how few will endure one? Yet wherein can a friend more unfold his
+love than in preventing dangers before their birth, or in bringing a
+man to safety who is travelling on the road to ruin? I grant there
+is a manner of reprehending which turns a benefit into an injury,
+and then it both strengthens error and wounds the giver. When thou
+chidest thy wandering friend do it secretly, in season, in love, not
+in the ear of a popular convention, for oftentimes the presence of a
+multitude makes a man take up an unjust defence, rather than fall
+into a just shame.
+
+                                                      _Feltham._

+
+I put no account on him who esteems himself just as the popular
+breath may chance to raise him.

+77.
+
+He who seeks wealth sacrifices his own pleasure, and, like him who
+carries burdens for others, bears the load of anxiety.

+
+Circumspection in calamity; mercy in greatness; good speeches in
+assemblies; fortitude in adversity: these are the self-attained
+perfections of great souls.

+The best preacher is the heart; the best teacher is time; the best

+
+A woman will not throw away a garland, though soiled, which her
+lover gave: not in the object lies a present's worth, but in the
+love which it was meant to mark.

+Men who have not observed discipline, and have not gained treasure
+in their youth, perish like old herons in a lake without fish.

+
+As drops of bitter medicine, though minute, may have a salutary
+force, so words, though few and painful, uttered seasonably, may
+rouse the prostrate energies of those who meet misfortune with
+despondency.

+There are three whose life is no life: he who lives at another's

+affliction.

+
+
+85.
+
+An indiscreet man is more hurtful than an ill-natured one; for as
+the latter will only attack his enemies, and those he wishes ill to,
+the other injures indifferently both his friends and foes.
+
+                                                      _Addison._
+

+
+A man of quick and active wit
+For drudgery is more unfit,
+Compared to those of duller parts,
+Than running nags are to draw carts.

+
+There never was, there never will be, a man who is always praised,

+
+A good man's intellect is piercing, yet inflicts no wound; his
+actions are deliberate, yet bold; his heart is warm, but never
+burns; his speech is eloquent, yet ever true.
+
+                                                        _Magha._

+Trees loaded with fruit are bent down; the clouds when charged with

+Our writings are like so many dishes, our readers, our guests, our
+books, like beauty--that which one admires another rejects; so we
+are approved as men's fancies are inclined.... As apothecaries, we
+make new mixtures every day, pour out of one vessel into another;
+and as those old Romans robbed all cities of the world to set out
+their bad-cited Rome, we skim off the cream of other men's wits,
+pick the choice flowers of their tilled gardens, to set out our own
+sterile plots. We weave the same web still, twist the same rope
+again and again; or, if it be a new invention, 'tis but some bauble
+or toy, which idle fellows write, for as idle fellows to read.[8]

+        introduction to the fragment on Whiskers in _Tristram
+        Shandy_: "Shall we for ever make new books as
+        apothecaries make new mixtures, by only pouring out of
+        one vessel into another? Are we for ever to be twisting
+        and untwisting the same rope?" And Dr. Johnson, who was

+It is our follies that make our lives uncomfortable. Our errors of

+the monotony by cheerful amusements, he would fall imperceptibly
+into idiotcy, or be struck with paralysis.

+Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure

+In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the
+more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to
+its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite
+good, in which all finite things are resolved.

+
+Poverty, we may say, surrounds a man with ready-made barriers, which
+if they do mournfully gall and hamper, do at least prescribe for
+him, and force on him, a sort of course and goal; a safe and beaten,
+though a circuitous, course. A great part of his guidance is secure
+against fatal error, is withdrawn from his control. The rich, again,
+has his whole life to guide, without goal or barrier, save of his
+own choosing, and, tempted, is too likely to guide it ill.

+
+In the life of every man there are sudden transitions of feeling,

+but the changes themselves are instantaneous, and apparently without

+Man is an intellectual animal, therefore an everlasting
+contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas

+A mere physical being or a pure spirit can alone be satisfied with
+itself.

+
+Men say that everyone is naturally a lover of himself, and that it
+is right that it should be so. This is a mistake; for in fact the
+cause of all the blunders committed by man arises from this
+excessive self-love. For the lover is blinded by the object loved,
+so that he passes a wrong judgment upon what is just, good, and
+beautiful, thinking that he ought always to honour what belongs to
+himself, in preference to truth. For he who intends to be a great
+man ought to love neither himself nor his own things, but only what
+is just, whether it happens to be done by himself or by another.

+
+There are three things to beware of through life: when a man is
+young, let him beware of his appetites; when he is middle-aged, of
+his passions; and when old, of covetousness, especially.
+
+                                                    _Confucius._

+
+I never yet found pride in a noble nature nor humility in an
+unworthy mind.

+
+Worldly fame is but a breath of wind, that blows now this way, now
+that, and changes name as it changes sides.
+
+                                                        _Dante._
+
+
+159.
+
+True modesty and true pride are much the same thing. Both consist in
+setting a just value on ourselves--neither more nor less.

+Never does a man portray his own character more vividly than in his
+manner of portraying another.

+A foolish husband fears his wife; a prudent wife obeys her husband.

+
+
+162.
+
+He who devises evil for another falls at last into his own pit, and
+the most cunning finds himself caught by what he had prepared for
+another. But virtue without guile, erect like the lofty palm, rises
+with greater vigour when it is oppressed.
+
+                                                   _Metastasio._
+
+
+163.
+
+Laughing is peculiar to man, but all men do not laugh for the same
+reason. There is the attic salt which springs from the charm in the
+words, from the flash of wit, from the spirited and brilliant sally.
+There is the low joke which arises from scurrility and idle conceit.
+
+                                                      _Goldoni._

+
+Petty ambition would seem to be a mean craving after distinction.

+
+It is an old observation that wise men grow usually wiser as they
+grow older, and fools more foolish.

+
+Use law and physic only for necessity. They that use them otherwise
+abuse themselves into weak bodies and light purses. They are good
+remedies, bad businesses, and worse recreations.
+
+                                                      _Quarles._
+
+
+168.
+
+In some dispositions there is such an envious kind of pride that
+they cannot endure that any but themselves should be set forth as
+excellent; so that when they hear one justly praised they will
+either openly detract from his virtues; or, if those virtues be,
+like a clear and shining light, eminent and distinguished, so that
+he cannot be safely traduced by the tongue, they will then raise a
+suspicion against him by a mysterious silence, as if there were
+something remaining to be told which overclouded even his brightest
+glory.

+
+Every man thinks with himself, I am well, I am wise, and laughs at
+others; and 'tis a general fault amongst them all, that which our
+forefathers approved--diet, apparel, humours, customs, manners--we
+deride and reject in our time as absurd.
+
+                                                       _Burton._

+
+Repeated sin destroys the understanding
+And he whose reason is impaired repeats
+His sins. The constant practising of virtue
+Strengthens the mental faculties, and he
+Whose judgment stronger grows acts always right.
+

+
+If you wish to know how much preferable wisdom is to gold, then
+observe: if you change gold you get silver for it, but your gold is
+gone; but if you exchange one sort of wisdom for another, you obtain
+fresh knowledge, and at the same time keep what you possessed
+before.

+
+It is a proverbial expression that every man is the maker of his own
+fortune, and we usually regard it as implying that every man by his
+folly or wisdom prepares good or evil for himself. But we may view
+it in another light, namely, that we may so accommodate ourselves to
+the dispositions of Providence as to be happy in our lot, whatever
+may be its privations.

+174.
+
+Be very circumspect in the choice of thy company. In the society of
+thy equals thou shalt enjoy more pleasure; in the society of thy
+superiors thou shalt find more profit. To be the best of the company
+is the way to grow worse; the best means to grow better is to be the
+worst there.

+
+Mark this! who lives beyond his means
+Forfeits respect, loses his sense;
+Where'er he goes, through the seven births,
+All count him knave: him women hate.

+
+Be cautious in your intercourse with the great; they seldom confer
+obligations on their inferiors but from interested motives. Friendly
+they appear as long as it serves their turn, but they will render no
+assistance in time of actual need.
+

+
+Man, though he be gray-headed when he comes back, soon gets a young
+wife. But a woman's time is short within which she can expect to
+obtain a husband. If she allows it to slip away, no one cares to
+marry her. She sits at home, speculating on the probability of her
+marriage.
+

+
+Hearts are like tapers, which at beauteous eyes
+Kindle a flame of love that never dies;
+And beauty is a flame, where hearts, like moths,
+Offer themselves a burning sacrifice.

+To the tongue which bringeth thee words without reason, the answer

+The worse the ill that fate on noble souls

+Their spirits with adamant to meet the blow.

+
+Man is the only animal with the powers of laughter, a privilege
+which was not bestowed on him for nothing. Let us then laugh while
+we may, no matter how broad the laugh may be, and despite of what
+the poet says about "the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind."
+The mind should occasionally be vacant, as the land should sometimes
+lie fallow, and for precisely the same reason.
+
+                                                _Egerton Smith._

+
+The man of affluence is not in fact more happy than the possessor of
+a bare competency, unless, in addition to his wealth, the end of his
+life be fortunate. We often see misery dwelling in the midst of
+splendour, whilst real happiness is found in humbler stations.

+Love of money is the disease which renders us most pitiful and

+Lost money is bewailed with deeper sighs
+Than friends, or kindred, and with louder cries.

+
+In one short verse I here express

+Beneficence is righteousness,

+
+A wound inflicted by arrows heals, a wood cut down by an axe grows,
+but harsh words are hateful--a wound inflicted by them does not
+heal. Arrows of different sorts can be extracted from the body, but
+a word-dart cannot be drawn out, for it is seated in the heart.

+
+All that is old is not therefore necessarily excellent; all that is

+meritorious be pronounced so by the candid judge after due
+investigation; blockheads alone are influenced by the opinion of

+
+One of the diseases of this age is the multitude of books. It is a
+thriftless and a thankless occupation, this writing of books: a man
+were better to sing in a cobbler's shop, for his pay is a penny a
+patch; but a book-writer, if he get sometimes a few commendations
+from the judicious, he shall be sure to reap a thousand reproaches
+from the malicious.

+
+She is a wife who is notable in her house; she is a wife who beareth
+children; she is a wife whose husband is as her life; she is a wife
+who is obedient to her lord. The wife is half the man; a wife is
+man's dearest friend; a wife is the source of his religion, his
+worldly profit, and his love. He who hath a wife maketh offerings in
+his house. Those who have wives are blest with good fortune. Wives
+are friends, who, by their kind and gentle speech, soothe you in
+your retirement. In your distresses they are as mothers, and they
+are refreshment to those who are travellers in the rugged paths of
+life.

+
+While the slightest inconveniences of the great are magnified into
+calamities, while tragedy mouths out their sufferings in all the

+suffer in their whole lives.

+Whoso associates with the wicked will be accused of following their

+
+I have often thought that the cause of men's good or ill fortune
+depends on whether they make their actions fit with the times. A man

+Fortune varies, because she changes her times and he does not his
+ways.

+Whosoever does not persecute them that persecute him; whosoever

+Ask not a man who his father was but make trial of his qualities,

+Obstinate silence implies either a mean opinion of ourselves, or a

+If thou desire not to be poor, desire not to be too rich. He is

+To form a judgment intuitively is the privilege of few; authority

+
+Poesy is a beauteous damsel, chaste, honourable, discreet, witty,

+
+Man is supreme lord and master
+Of his own ruin and disaster,
+Controls his fate, but nothing less
+In ordering his own happiness:
+For all his care and providence
+Is too feeble a defence
+To render it secure and certain
+Against the injuries of Fortune;
+And oft, in spite of all his wit,
+Is lost by one unlucky hit,
+And ruined with a circumstance,
+And mere punctilio of a chance.

+
+Seven things characterise the wise man, and seven the blockhead. The
+wise man speaks not before those who are his superiors, either in
+age or wisdom. He interrupts not others in the midst of their
+discourse. He replies not hastily. His questions are relevant to the
+subject, his answers, to the purpose. In delivering his sentiments
+he taketh the first in order first, the last, last. What he
+understands not he says, "I understand not." He acknowledges his
+error, and is open to conviction. The reverse of all this
+characterises the blockhead.

+
+How absolute and omnipotent is the silence of the night! And yet the
+stillness seems almost audible. From all the measureless depths of
+air around us comes a half sound, a half whisper, as if we could
+hear the crumbling and falling away of the earth and all created
+things in the great miracle of nature--decay and reproduction--ever
+beginning, never ending--the gradual lapse and running of the sand
+in the great hour-glass of Time.

+
+One man envies the success in life of another, and hates him in
+secret; nor is he willing to give him good advice when he is
+consulted, except it be by some wonderful effort of good feeling,
+and there are, alas, few such men in the world. A real friend, on
+the other hand, exults in his friend's happiness, rejoices in all
+his joys, and is ready to afford him the best advice.

+
+It is a kind of policy in these days to prefix a fantastical title
+to a book which is to be sold; for as larks come down to a day-net,
+many vain readers will tarry and stand gazing, like silly
+passengers, at an antic picture in a painter's shop that will not
+look at a judicious piece.

+With many readers brilliancy of style passes for affluence of

+Men hail the rising sun with glee,
+They love his setting glow to see,
+But fail to mark that every day
+In fragments bears their life away.

+All Nature's face delight to view,

+None sees how each revolving year

+
+The good man shuns evil and follows good; he keeps secret that which

+Gross ignorance produces a dogmatic spirit. He who knows nothing
+thinks he can teach others what he has himself just been learning.
+He who knows much scarcely believes that what he is saying is
+unknown to others, and consequently speaks with more hesitation.

+When you see a man elated with pride, glorying in his riches and

+
+We cannot too soon convince ourselves how easily we may be dispensed
+with in the world. What important personages we imagine ourselves to
+be! We think that we alone are the life of the circle in which we
+move; in our absence, we fancy that life, existence, breath will
+come to a general pause, and, alas, the gap which we leave is
+scarcely perceptible, so quickly is it filled again; nay, it is
+often the place, if not of something better, at least for something
+more agreeable.

+
+The friendships formed between good and evil men differ. The

+continually increases; the friendship of the evil at the very

+
+All love, at first, like generous wine,
+Ferments and frets until 'tis fine;
+But when 'tis settled on the lee,
+And from th' impurer matter free,
+Becomes the richer still the older,
+And proves the pleasanter the colder.

+
+He who receives a favour must retain a recollection of it for all

+not to show a sordid and ungenerous spirit. To remind a man of a

+from a reproach.

+Pride not thyself on thy religious works,

+By pride religious merit melts away,
+The merit of thy alms, by ostentation.

+The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who has

+
+In all things, to serve from the lowest station upwards is
+necessary. To restrict yourself to a trade is best. For the narrow
+mind, whatever he attempts is still a trade; for the higher, an art;
+and the highest in doing one thing does all, or, to speak less
+paradoxically, in the one thing which he does rightly he sees the
+likeness of all that is done rightly.

+
+Misanthropy ariseth from a man trusting another without having
+sufficient knowledge of his character, and, thinking him to be
+truthful, sincere, and honourable, finds a little afterwards that he
+is wicked, faithless, and then he meets with another of the same
+character. When a man experiences this often, and more particularly
+from those whom he considered his most dear and best friends, at
+last, having frequently made a slip, he hates the whole world, and
+thinks that there is nothing sound at all in any of them.

+
+Pleasure, most often delusive, may be born of delusion. Pleasure,

+well-being) can be built on virtue alone, and must of necessity have
+truth for its foundation.

+
+Entangled in a hundred worldly snares,
+Self-seeking men, by ignorance deluded,
+Strive by unrighteous means to pile up riches.
+Then, in their self-complacency, they say,
+"This acquisition I have made to-day,
+That will I gain to-morrow, so much pelf
+Is hoarded up already, so much more
+Remains that I have yet to treasure up.
+This enemy I have destroyed, him also,
+And others in their turn, I will despatch.
+I am a lord; I will enjoy myself;
+I'm wealthy, noble, strong, successful, happy;
+I'm absolutely perfect; no one else
+In all the world can be compared to me.
+Now will I offer up a sacrifice,
+Give gifts with lavish hand, and be triumphant."
+Such men, befooled by endless vain conceits,
+Caught in the meshes of the world's illusion,
+Immersed in sensuality, descend
+Down to the foulest hell of unclean spirits.[16]

+There needs no other charm, nor conjuror,

+That's both a prisoner to itself and jail;

+Of knotted wood, in some men's crazy brains,
+When all the cocks they think they are, and bulls,
+Are only in the insides of their skulls.

+There is a rabble among the gentry as well as the commonalty; a sort

+A man who does not endeavour to _seem_ more than he is will

+Every man knows his own but not others' defects and miseries; and

+
+The hooting fowler seldom takes much game. When a man has a project

+do or what he shall have, for if what he speaks of fall not out
+accordingly, instead of applause, a mock and scorn will follow him.

+If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and

+Empty is the house of a childless man; as empty is the mind of a

+The wicked have no stability, for they do not remain in consistency

+It is the natural disposition of all men to listen with pleasure to

+A man ought not to return evil for evil, as many think, since at no

+
+In all that belongs to man you cannot find a greater wonder than
+memory. What a treasury of all things! What a record! What a journal
+of all! As if provident Nature, because she would have man
+circumspect, had furnished him with an account-book, to carry always
+with him. Yet it neither burthens nor takes up room.

+
+In thy apparel avoid singularity, profuseness, and gaudiness. Be not
+too early in the fashion, nor too late. Decency is half way between
+affectation and neglect. The body is the shell of the soul, apparel
+is the husk of that shell; the husk often tells you what the kernel

+We have more faith in a well-written romance while we are reading it

+
+We magnify the wealthy man, though his parts be never so poor. The

+
+There is nothing more operative than sedulity and diligence. A man

+steps whereby to climb to any excellence, nay, it is rare that there
+is any other other way.

+
+The lustre of a virtuous character cannot be defaced, nor can the

+
+Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner.

+When the man of a naturally good propensity has much wealth it

+
+O how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the
+soul. The intellect of man sits enshrined visibly upon his forehead
+and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his
+countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only, as God
+revealed himself to the prophet in the still small voice, and in a
+voice from the Burning Bush. The soul of man is audible, not
+visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain
+invisible to man.

+We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself,

+
+It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that

+It cannot but be injurious to the human mind never to be called into
+effort: the habit of receiving pleasure without any exertion of

+be justly ranked among the worst effects of habitual novel-reading.

+Patience is the chiefest fruit of study; a man that strives to make

+good, that in all fortunes he hath something to entertain and
+comfort himself withal.

+
+There is nothing more becoming a wise man than to make choice of
+friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art. Let them
+therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee
+for gain; but make election rather of thy betters than thy
+inferiors; shunning always such as are poor and needy, for if thou
+givest twenty gifts and refuse to do the like but once, all that
+thou hast done will be lost, and such men will become thy mortal
+enemies.

+Low-minded men are occupied solely with their own affairs, but

+He that would build lastingly must lay his foundation low. The proud

+of sap, green in leaves, and fresh in colour, but bruises and breaks
+with every wind, is nipped with every little cold, and, being
+top-heavy, is wholly unfit for use. Whereas the humble man retains

+concussions of the wind, and can endure far more than that which
+appears so flourishing.

+Women never reason and therefore they are, comparatively, seldom
+wrong. They judge instinctively of what falls under their immediate

+
+A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but

+
+It is true that men are no fit judges of themselves, because

+
+Envy is a vice that would pose a man to tell what it should be liked
+for. Other vices we assume for that we falsely suppose they bring us
+either pleasure, profit, or honour. But in envy who is it can find
+any of these? Instead of pleasure, we vex and gall ourselves. Like
+cankered brass, it only eats itself, nay, discolours and renders it
+noisome. When some one told Agis that those of his neighbour's

+vexation--one, with their own evil, the other, at my prosperity."

+
+The most silent people are generally those who think most highly of
+themselves. They fancy themselves superior to every one else, and,

+entering the lists altogether. Thus they "lay the flattering unction
+to their souls" that they could have said better things than others,
+or that the conversation was beneath them.

+It is commonly a dangerous thing for a man to have more sense than

+There is nothing keeps longer than a middling fortune, and nothing
+melts away sooner than a great one. Poverty treads upon the heels of
+great and unexpected riches.

+
+Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or
+absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or
+dwarfs. The heaviest charge we can bring against the general texture
+of society is that it is commonplace. Our fancied superiority to
+others is in some one thing which we think most of because we excel
+in it, or have paid most attention to it; whilst we overlook their
+superiority to us in something else which they set equal and
+exclusive store by.
+
+                                                      _Hazlitt._

+
+It is resignation and contentment that are best calculated to lead
+us safely through life. Whoever has not sufficient power to endure
+privations, and even suffering, can never feel that he is
+armour-proof against painful emotions; nay, he must attribute to
+himself, or at least to the morbid sensitiveness of his nature,
+every disagreeable feeling he may suffer.
+
+                                                 _Von Humboldt._

+
+Petrarch observes, that we change language, habits, laws, customs,
+manners, but not vices, not diseases, not the symptoms of folly and
+madness--they are still the same. And as a river, we see, keeps the
+like name and place, but not water, and yet ever runs, our times and
+persons alter, vices are the same, and ever be. Look how
+nightingales sang of old, cocks crowed, kine lowed, sheep bleated,
+sparrows chirped, dogs barked, so they do still: we keep our madness
+still, play the fool still; we are of the same humours and
+inclinations as our predecessors were; you shall find us all alike,
+much as one, we and our sons, and so shall our posterity continue to
+the last.

+The mother of the useful arts is necessity, that of the fine arts is
+luxury; for father the former have intellect, the latter, genius,
+which itself is a kind of luxury.

+
+The fool who knows his foolishness is wise so far, at least; but a
+fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed.

+Heaven's gate is narrow and minute,[29]
+It cannot be perceived by foolish men,
+Blinded by vain illusions of the world.
+E'en the clear-sighted, who discern the way
+And seek to enter, find the portal barred
+And hard to be unlocked. Its massive bolts
+Are pride and passion, avarice and lust.

+
+Is a preface exquisitely written? No literary morsel is more
+delicious. Is the author inveterately dull? It is a kind of
+preparatory information, which may be very useful. It argues a
+deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread: for it
+is the attar of the author's roses, every drop distilled at an
+immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of
+the foolish.

+Vulgar prejudices are those which arise out of accident, ignorance,

+Harsh reproof is like a violent storm, soon washed down the channel;

+All such distinctions as tend to set the orders of the state at a

+
+A lively blockhead in company is a public benefit. Silence or

+The beauty of some women has days and seasons, depending upon

+Such deeds as thou with fear and grief

+In all companies there are more fools than wise men, and the greater
+part always gets the better of the wiser.

+Talents are best nurtured in solitude; character is best formed in

+The constant man loses not his virtue in misfortune. A torch may
+point towards the ground, but its flame will still point upwards.
+

+
+A man should never despise himself, for brilliant success never
+attends on the man who is contemned by himself.
+
+                                                  _Mahabharata._
+
+
+579.
+
+It is the character of a simpleton to be a bore. A man of sense sees
+at once whether he is welcome or tiresome; he knows to withdraw the
+moment that precedes that in which he would be in the least in the
+way.
+
+                                                   _La Bruyere._
+
+
+580.
+
+The man of first rate excellence is virtuous in spite of
+instruction; he of the middle class is so after instruction; the
+lowest order of men are vicious in spite of instruction.
+
+                                                      _Chinese._
+
+
+581.
+
+Not to attend at the door of the wealthy, and not to use the voice
+of petition--these constitute the best life of a man.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+582.
+
+What a man can do and suffer is unknown to himself till some
+occasion presents itself which draws out the hidden power. Just as
+one sees not in the water of an unruffled pond the fury and roar
+with which it can dash down a steep rock without injury to itself,
+or how high it is capable of rising; or as little as one can suspect
+the latent heat in ice-cold water.
+
+                                                 _Schopenhauer._
+
+
+583.
+
+Comprehensive talkers are apt to be tiresome when we are not athirst
+for information; but, to be quite fair, we must admit that superior
+reticence is a good deal due to lack of matter. Speech is often
+barren, but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full
+nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the
+while be sitting on one addled nest-egg; and, when it takes to
+cackling, will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
+
+                                                 _George Eliot._
+
+
+584.
+
+The sage who engages in controversy with ignorant people must not
+expect to be treated with honour; and if a fool should overpower a
+philosopher by his loquacity it is not to be wondered at, for a
+common stone will break a jewel.
+
+                                                        _Sa'di._
+
+
+585.
+
+Success is like a lovely woman, wooed by many men, but folded in the
+arms of him alone who, free from over-zeal, firmly persists and
+calmly perseveres.
+
+                                                      _Bharavi._
+
+
+586.
+
+A feverish display of over-zeal,
+At the first outset, is an obstacle
+To all success; water, however cold,
+Will penetrate the ground by slow degrees.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._

+
+Treat no one with disdain; with patience bear
+Reviling language; with an angry man
+Be never angry; blessings give for curses.[31]
+
+                                                         _Manu._

+
+E'en as a traveller, meeting with the shade
+Of some o'erhanging tree, awhile reposes,
+Then leaves its shelter to pursue his way,
+So men meet friends, then part with them for ever.
+
+                                                   _Hitopadesa._
+
+
+589.
+
+Single is every living creature born,
+Single he passes to another world,
+Single he eats the fruit of evil deeds,
+Single, the fruit of good; and when he leaves
+His body, like a log or heap of clay,
+Upon the ground, his kinsmen walk away:
+Virtue alone stays by him at the tomb,
+And bears him through the dreary, trackless gloom.
+
+                                                         _Manu._

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
