'Tis right to sacrifice an individual For a whole household, and a family

For a whole village, and a village even

For a whole country's good; but for one's self

And one's own soul, one should give up the world (I. 159).

Make the best use of thy prosperity,

And then of thy reverses when they happen.

For good and evil fortune come and go,

Revolving like a wheel in sure rotation (I. 184).

Strive not too anxiously for a subsistence,

Thy Maker will provide thee sustenance;

No sooner is a human being born

Than milk for his support streams from the breast (I. 190).

He by whose hand the swans were painted white,
And parrots green, and peacocks many-hued,

Will make provision for thy maintenance1 (I. 191).

How can true happiness proceed from wealth,
Which in its acquisition causes pain;

In loss, affliction; in abundance, folly (I. 192)?

A friend, the sight of whom is to the eyes

A balm-who is the heart's delight-who shares
Our joys and sorrows-is a treasure rare.
But other friendly persons who are ready
To share in our prosperity, abound.

Friendship's true touchstone is adversity (I. 226).

Whoever, quitting certainties, pursues

Uncertain things, may lose his certainties (I. 227).

By drops of water falling one by one,
Little by little, may a jar be filled;

Such is the law of all accumulations

Of money, knowledge, and religious merit (II. 10).

That man is sapient who knows how to suit

His words to each occasion, his kind acts

To each man's worth, his anger to his power (II. 48).

Is anything by nature beautiful

Or the reverse? Whatever pleases each,

That only is by each thought beautiful (II. 50).

Disinclination to begin a work

Through fear of failure, is a mark of weakness;

Is food renounced through fear of indigestion (II. 54)?
If glass be used to decorate a crown,
While gems are taken to bedeck a foot,

'Tis not that any fault lies in the gem,

But in the want of knowledge of the setter1 (II. 72).

A man may on affliction's touchstone learn

The worth of his own kindred, wife, and servants;

Also of his own mind and character (II. 79).
A feverish display of over-zeal

At the first outset, is an obstacle

To all success; water, however cold,

Will penetrate the ground by slow degrees (III. 48).
Even a foe, if he perform a kindness,

Should be esteemed a kinsman; e'en a kinsman,
If he do harm, should be esteemed a foe.

A malady, though bred within the body

Does mischief, while a foreign drug that comes

From some far forest does a friendly work (III. 101).

Whither have gone the rulers of the earth,

With all their armies, all their regal pomp,

And all their stately equipages? Earth,

That witnessed their departure, still abides (IV. 68).

E'en as a traveller, meeting with the shade
Of some o'erhanging tree, awhile reposes,

Then leaves its shelter to pursue his way,

So men meet friends, then part with them for ever2 (IV. 73).

Thou art thyself a stream whose sacred ford

Is self-restraint, whose water is veracity,

Whose bank is virtue, and whose waves are love;

Here practise thy ablutions; by mere water

The inner man can ne'er be purified (IV. 90).

1 'Is such a thing as an emerald made worse than it was, if it is not praised?' Marcus Aurelius. Farrar's 'Seekers after God,' p. 306. 2 Compare p. 441, l. 11, of this volume.

Many parallels in European writers will naturally suggest themselves to the educated reader while perusing the foregoing pages. I have purposely avoided cumbering my notes with obvious comparisons.

INDEX.

Observe-In the following Index the numbers indicate the pages.

When more than one page

is given the numbers are separated by semicolons. A unit separated from a preceding
