A CODE OF ETHICS
A London judge has listed what he considers the fourteen great mistakes of life, as follow: 1. To attempt to set your own standards of right and wrong, and expect everybody to conform to them. 2. To try to measure the enjoyment of others by your own. 3. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. 4. To look for judgment and experience in youth. 5. To endeavour to mould all dispositions alike. 6. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. 7. To look for perfection in our own actions. 8. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. 9. Not to alleviate, ill we can, all that needs alleviation. 10. Not to make allowances for the weakness of others. 11. To consider anything impossible which we ourselves cannot perform. 12. To believe only what the finite mind can grasp. 13. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would live for ever. 14. To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within which makes the man.
