Judge Wisely.

Don’t judge a man by his clothes. God made one and the tailor the other. Don’t judge him by his relations, foi Cain belonged to a good family. Don’t judge a man by his speech, for a parrot talks, but the tongue is but an instrument of sound. Don’t judge a man by his failure in life, for many a man fails because he is too honest to succeed. Don’t judge a man by the house he lives in, for the lizard and the rat often inhabit the grandest structures. When a man dies, they who survive him ask what property he has left behind. The angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has seht before him.
