Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. Never spend your money before you have earned it. Never buy what you don't want be- cause it is cheap. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold. -We seldom repent of having eaten too little. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. How much pain. the evils have cost nethat have never happened. Take things always by the smooth handie. When angry, count ten before you speak.
