Wise Sayings And Heart-Touching Life Lesson
441. Delusions:
In youth, a man is deluded by other ideas than those which delude him
in middle life, and again in his decay he embraces other ideas.
_Mahābhārata._
442. Neighbor's:
To consider, Is this man of our own or an alien? is a mark of
little-minded persons; but the whole earth is of kin to the
generous-hearted.[24]
_Panchatantra._
[24] Cf. Luke, X, 29, ff.
443. Righteousness:
Skill in advising others is easily attained by men; but to practice righteousness themselves is what only a few can succeed in doing.
_Hitopadesa._
444. Silence:
Hast thou not perfect excellence, ’tis best
To keep thy tongue in silence, for ’tis this
Which shames a man; as lightness does attest
The nut is empty, nor of value is.
_Sa’dī._
445. Deeds And Words:
Understand a man by his deeds and words; the impressions of others
lead to false judgment.
_Talmud._
446. Feeble Characters:
A man of feeble character resembles a reed that bends with every gust of wind.
_Māgha._
447. Greed:
There is no fire like passion; there is no shark like hatred; there is no snare like folly; there is no torrent like greed.
_Dhammapada._
448. Sin, repeated:
Commit a sin twice, and it will not seem to thee a sin.
_Talmud._
449. Valor:
Liberality attended with mild language; learning without pride; valor united with mercy; wealth accompanied with a generous contempt of it—these four qualities are with difficulty acquired.
_Hitopadesa._

450. Companions:
Inquire about your neighbor before you build, and about your
companions before you travel.
_Arabic._
451. Habdicraft:
Though you may yourself abound in treasure, teach your son some
handicraft; for a heavy purse of gold and silver may run to waste, but the purse of the artisan’s industry can never get empty.
_Sa’dī._
452. Authority:
It is an observation no less just than common that there is no stronger test of a man’s real character than power and authority, exciting, as they do, every passion, and discovering every latent
vice.
_Plutarch._
453. Labor:
Rather skin a carcass for pay in the public streets than be idly
dependent on charity.
_Talmud._

character; a good character, wealth; wealth, if virtuous actions
attend it, happiness.
_Hitopadesa._
455. Voice, the human:
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.
_Longfellow._
456. Gifts:

companions before you travel.

Every gift, though small, is in reality great, if it be given with
affection.[25]
_Philemon._

A wise man ever culls from every quarter,
E’en as a gleaner gathers ears of corn.
_Mahābhārata._

_Aristotle._
459. Flattery:
Heed not the flatterer’s fulsome talk,
He from thee hopes some trifle to obtain;
Thou wilt, shouldst thou his wishes baulk,
Ten hundred times as much of censure gain.
_Sa’dī._
460. Increase, by degrees:
By the fall of water-drops the pot is filled: such is the increase
of riches, of knowledge, and of virtue.

461. Life
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself,
and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the
trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not
walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly
upon us.
_Seneca._
462. Present Affairs:
It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that
they deal much in vaticination. Happy men are full of the present,
for its bounty suffices them; and wise men also, for its duties
engage them. Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies
dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
_Carlyle._
463. Law
Law does not put the least restraint
Upon our freedom, but maintain’st;
Or, if it does, ’tis for our good,
To give us freer latitude:
For wholesome laws preserve us free,
By stinting of our liberty.
_Butler._
464. Age Should Be Indulgent:
It is only necessary to grow old in order to become more indulgent.
I see no fault committed that I have not been myself inclined to.
_Goethe._
465. Blacckhead In Fine Clothes:
Even a blockhead may respect inspire,
So long as he is suitably attired;
A fool may gain esteem among the wise,
So long as he has sense to hold his tongue.
_Hitopadesa._
466.
A wise man should never resolve upon anything, at least, never let
the world know his resolution, for if he cannot reach that he is
ashamed.[26]
_Selden._
[26] See 406.
467. Designs:
Men’s minds are generally ingenious in palliating guilt in
themselves.
_Livy._
468. Self-Palliation:
Prosperity is acquired by exertion, and there is no fruit for him
who doth not exert himself: the fawns go not into the mouth of a
sleeping lion.
_Hitopadesa._
469. Exertion:
Wickedness, by whomsoever committed, is odious, but most of all in
men of learning; for learning is the weapon with which Satan is
combated, and when a man is made captive with arms in his hand his
shame is more excessive.
_Sa’dī._
470. Wickedness, odious in the learned:
He that will give himself to all manner of ways to get money may be
rich; so he that let's fly all he knows or thinks may by chance be
satirically witty. Honesty sometimes keeps a man from growing rich,
and civility from being witty.
