CHAPTER 34
THE VANITY OF ALL THINGS
331. There is no greater folly than the
infatuation that looketh upon the transient as if it were everlasting.
332. The crowd that assembleth to witness a village show, that is the symbol of great riches flowing on a man: and the dispersal of that same crowd is the type of its passing away.
333. Prosperity is transient : if thou have come by it, delay not to do things that are of lasting good.
334. Tine looketh like an innocent thing : but verily it is a saw that is continually sawing away the life of man.
335. Make haste to do good works before the tongue is paralysed and hiccough ariseth in the throat.
