OLD PROVERBS
To spoil what is good by unreasonable- * ness is like letting off fireworks in tho ( rain. Nine-storeyed terraces rise by a gra- , dual accumulation of bricks. Tho prince who deserves the favour of heaven should practise and honour J the five virtues: Charity, justice, prud- [■, ence,-fidelity and politeness. J An unkind word falls easily from tho J tongue, but a coach with six horses cannot bring it back. Without going you can got nowhere. Trust not tho flatterer; in tho days % of sunshine ho will give thee three 1 , pounds of: butter, and in thy need deny thee a crust of bread. , Something is learned every time a book is opened. k Nfever was good work done without I much trouble.
