Continuance is easier than commencement. A gift becomes absolute only when delivery thereof is taken. A person bestows a thing upon another person by way of gift. Such gift is not binding until delivery thereof has been taken. The exercise of control over subjects is dependent upon the public welfare.
Private guardianship is more effective than public guardianship.
The guardianship exercised by the trustee of a pious foundation is more effective than the guardianship of the court. A word should be construed as having some meaning, rather than passed over in silence. That is to say, if any particular meaning can be attributed to a word, it may not be passed over as devoid of meaning. When the literal meaning cannot be applied, the metaphorical sense may be used. If no meaning can be attached to a word it is disregarded altogether.
