TALMUDIC PROVERBS. When a
righteous man dies it is the earth that
loses. The lost jewel will always be q,
\ jewel, but the possessor who lost it
wellmay he weep.
Life is passing shadow, says the
Scripture. Is it the shadow of tower
or a tree9 & shadow that prevails for.
a whilel No, it is the shadow of bird
in its flight-away flies the bird, and
there is neither bird nor shadow.
The reward of good works is like
dates-sweet, and ripening late
If your God hates idolatry, why
does BE not destroy it2 a heather asked.
And they answered him: Behold, they
worship the sun, the moon, the stars;
would you have him destroy this beauti-
full world for the sake of the foolish2
He who forsakeS the love of his youth,
Gods altar weeps for him.
He who sees his wife die before him,
has, as it were, been present at the
sanctuary itself-around him the world
grows dark. 1t is woman alone through
whom Gods blessings are. vouchsafed
10 a house. She teaches the children,
speeds the husband to the place of wor-
ship and instruction, welcomes him
when he returns, keeps the house godiy
and pure, and Gods blessings rest upon
all these things.
He who marries for money, his child
rem shall be curse to him.
The house that does not open to the
poor shall open to the physician.
The birds of the air even despise the
miser.
There are three crowns: of the law,
The priesthood, the kingship; but the
crown of a good name is better than
them all.
Iron breaks the stone, fire melts iron,
water extinguishes fire, clouds drink up
the water, a storm drives away the
clouds, man withstands the storm, fear
humans man, wine dispels fear, sleep
drives away wine, and death sweeps all
away, even sleep. But Solomon the
Wise says-Charity saves from death.
The cock and the owl both await the
daylight. The light, says the cock,
brings delight to me; but what are you
waiting fora 9
When the thief has no opportunity
for stealing, he considers himself an
honest man.
The camel wanted to have horns, and
they took away his ears.
The soldiers fight, and the kings are
the heroes. -
After the thief runs the theft; after
the beggar, poverty
While the foot is shod smash the
thorn.
Descend a step in choosing a wife;
mount q step in choosing friend.
One eats, another says grace.
There is a great difference between
him WHO is ashamed before his own self
and him who is ashamed before others.
It is good sign in man to be capable
If being ashamed. One contrition in
b mans heart is worth many fagella-
ions.
