SIX MAXIMS
The late King George V. had six maxims for life and conduct, which hung in his study at Buckingham Palace and also at Sandringham. Looking back over his life we can see how well he carried them' out Here they are:— Teadh me to be obedient to the rules of the game. Teach me to distinguish between sentiment and sentimentality, admiring the one and despising the other. Teach me. neither to proffer nor to receive cheap praise. If I am called upon to suffer, let me be like a well-bred beast that goes away to suffer in silence. Teach me to win, if I may; if I may not, teach me to be a good loser. Teach me neither to cry for the i moon nor to cry over spilt milk.
