Book of Wise Sayings

Selected Largely from Eastern Sources

When, for instance, a man has played ducks and drakes with his money, the fact at once calls up the proverb which declares that wilful waste leads to woful want; but did not the waster know this well-worn saying from his early years downwards? What good, then, did it do him? Again, how many have been benefited by the saying of the ancient Greek poet, that evil communications corrupt good manners?--albeit they had it frequently before them in their school copy-books.
