: he who lives at another's
table; he whose wife domineers over him; and he who suffers bodily
affliction.
_Talmud._
84.
Let thy words between two foes be such that if they were to become
friends thou shouldst not be ashamed.
_Sa'di._
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._
86.
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.
_Butler._
87.
All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to
appear rich.
_Lavater._
88.
There never was, there never will be, a man who is always praised,
or a man who is always blamed.
_Dhammapada._
89.
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._
90.
He who can feel ashamed will not readily do wrong.
_Talmud._
91.
A stranger who is kind is a kinsman; an unkind kinsman is a
stranger.
_Hitopadesa._
92.
The good to others kindness show,
And from them no return exact;
The best and greatest men, they know,
Thus ever nobly love to act.[7]
_Mahabharata._
[7] Cf. Luke, VI, 34, 35.
93.
Trees loaded with fruit are bent down; the clouds when charged with
fresh rain hang down near the earth: even so good men are not
uplifted through prosperity. Such is the natural character of the
liberal.
_Bhartrihari._
94.
The man who neither gives in charity nor enjoys his wealth, which
every day increases, breathes, indeed, like the bellows of a smith,
but cannot be said to live.
