Book Description
Excerpt from Elegant Extracts, Vol. 2: A Copious Selection of Instructive, Moral, and Entertaining Passages, From the Most Eminent Prose Writers; Book III. IV., Preceptive ClassicalLet your dress be sober, clean, and modest. In your meat and drink observe the rule of Christian temperance and sobriety: consider your body as only the servant of your soul; and only nourish the one so as it may best perform a humble and obedient service to the other.Let every day be a day of humility; relieve the wants and rejoice in the prosperity of your fellow-creatures: compassionate their distress, overlook their unkindness, and forgive- their malice.The time of practising these precepts, my child, will soon be over with you: the world will soon slip through your hands, or rather you will soon slip through it: it seems but the other day when I received these same instructions from my dear father, that I am now leaving with you.The Mind Should Habituate Itself Early To Serious Thought.As soon as you are capable of reflection, you must perceive that there is a right and wrong in human actions. You see that those who are born with the same advantages of fortune, are not all equally prosperous in the course of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
