Proverbs From The g'aImud.

The ass complains of the cold even
in July,
A single light answers as we'll for a
hundred men as for one.
Teach thy tongue to say II do not
know" Thy friend has a friend,
and Thy friends friend has a friend :
be discretc
Deal with those who are fortunate.
The doctor who prescribcs gratuito
ousiy gives a worthless prescription.
If q word spoken in it's time is
worth one piece Of money silence in
it's time is worth two.
The wine belongs to the master,
but the waiter receives the thanks,
The soldiers fight, aud the kings
are heroes.
Make but one sale, and thou Grt
called a merchant.
If the fox is king than bow before
him.
The rivalry of scholars advances
science.
The world is saved by the breath
Of the school children. Even TO re-
build the temple, the schools must
not be closed.
Blessed is the son who has studied
with his father. and blessed is TIE
father who has Instructed bis sou.
Rabbi Eleazar said "Who gives
charity in secret is greater than
Moses"
Rab said 'Men should be careful
lest they cause women to weep, ior
God counts their tears"
In cases Of charity, where both
men and women claim relief the latter
should be first assisted if there
should not be enough for both. the
men should cheerfalIy relinquish their
claims
Rabbah said, "When one stands at
the judgement seat of God these
questions are asked: Hast thou been
honest in all thy dealings? Hast
thou set aside a portion of thy time
for the study of the law? Hast thou
observed the first commandment
Hast thou in trouble still hoped and
believed in God? Hast thou spoken
wisely?
