ASIATIC EPIGRAMS

It is hard to chase two hares. Stagnant water becomes putrid. ■MH* We do not cook rice by babbling; A fog cannpt be dispelled by a fan. Be the pig white or black, it is still a pig. Who masters his tongue saves his head. Live contented and you will be a king. Cheats never starve in an avaricious country. <■■■•• < The eyes are of little use if the mind be blind. .. The stag and the tiger do not stroll together. A pleasant voice brings a snake out of its hole. ’ The breath of the gnat will not put out the sun. Knowledge Is not acquired in a feather bed. A man's conversation is the mirror of his heart One rushing between two camels is kicked by both. We heal the wounds of a knife, but not of the tongue. It is not as safe opening the mouth as keeping it shut To acquire a pound of learning requires ten of common sense. Condemn no one. Regard him who is above thee as thy father; him who is thy equal as thy brother, and him who is below thee as thy son. —Asia Magazine.
