Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Laconics Abuse. Our appetites are for use, not for abuse. Everything has its use and its abuse. Acknowledgment. If you have done a wrong thing, do a manly thing - acknowledge it. Adversity. Only in adversity do we come to know ourselves. Adversity leads the wise to prosperity. The winds of adversity blow egotism out of us. Adversity only threshes out the cheat and chaff; the wheat remains. In adversity - calm; in prosperity - calm. They that sow in adversity may reap in prosperity. The courage of the brave grows in adversity. In prosperity beware of your friends; in adversity they will beware of you. Advice. Be careful whom you advise, lest he pursue the adviser instead of the advice. All can give advice; few profit by it. Seek advice rather than praise. It is easy to give advice after it is done. You give us a bucketful of advice; take a drop yourself. Nobody charges for advice but the lawyer and the doctor; and the less you buy of them the better. Don´t feed advice to a fool: he can´t digest it. Affliction. Strength is born in the silence of affliction. A proud man, like a generous vine, runs wild and fruitless, unless propped by wisdom and pruned by affliction.
