: 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. _
