Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Family Economist, Vol. 2: A Penny Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Moral, Physical, and Domestic Improvement of the Industrious Classes, 1849 He who promiseth runs in debt. A punctual man can always find leisure, a negligent one never. One good head is better than several hands. Civility is a kind of charm that attracts the love of all men. Little and often fills the purse. As is the gardener, such is the garden. Success is the child of confidence and perseverance. Sin like a disease is often caught by infection. A man may buy gold too dear. God´s mercies are as houndless as his being. Deliberate slowly; execute promptly. He that is hasty fishes in an empty pond. Redeem misspent time by industry. He doubles his gift who gives in time. He who swims in sin will sink in sorrow. He who avoids the temptation avoids the sin. Gold may be bought too dear. A good character is a fortune.

It is less painful to learn in youth than to be ignorant in age. If you have done a good deed boast not of it. It is never too late to learn. Improvement of parts is by improvement of time. Intemperance is the grossest abuse of the gifts of providence. Industry and cheerfulness are sworn friends. Idleness and melancholy keep constant company, The more a man does, the more he can do. Method and order are the secret of great workers. Lying is the vice of a mean mind. Profaneness is the sign of an ignorant and wicked mind. Kind words cost no more than angry ones. Civility is a debt we owe to all. Overcome evil with good. Kindness is a powerful weapon too seldom fought with. By cheerfulness, half the miseries of life might be assuaged. A fretful temper multiplies and magnifies every calamity. Love is often extinguished by thoughtlessness. True politeness is a christian virtue. If angry, count fifty before you speak, if very angry, count a hundred. Anger has made many a man a fool. Be at peace with mankind, at war with their vices. A man may be a fool with wit, but never with judgment. To say little and perform much is the characteristic of a gre
