All over the world one hears beautiful sayings extolled and noble precepts admired. Sincerity is to be admired, whilst lying is despicable. Faith is a virtue, and treachery is a disgrace to humanity. It is a blessed thing to gladden the hearts of men, and wrong to be the cause of pain. To be kind and merciful is right, while to hate is sinful.
Justice is a noble quality and injustice an iniquity.
That it is one's duty to be pitiful and harm no one, and to avoid jealousy and malice at all costs. It is a good thing to turn one's face toward God, and foolishness to ignore Him. That it is our duty to guide man upward, and not to mislead him and be the cause of his downfall. There are many more examples like unto these. But all these sayings are but words and we see very few of them carried into the world of action.
