CHINESE PROVERBS.What is told in the ear is often heard a hundred miles. Riches come better after poverty, than poverty after riches. Who aims at excellence will be above medirocity; who aims at medirocity will fall short of it. No remedies can revive old age and faded flowers. A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child. He who toils with pain will eat with pleasure. A wise man forgets old grudges. Those that dare lose a day are dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it, desperate.--_Bishop Hall_. Truth enters into the heart of man when it is empty, and clean and still; but when the mind is shaken with passion as with a storm, you can never hear the voice of the charmer, though he charm never so wisely. Next: COMFORT AND SOBRIETY. Previous: ANECDOTES.
