Beyond these you should not go ; by using them you 

 will economise your time, become richer in information 

 than you could otherwise be, save much cost of book-

 elegant composition, or amusement." 



Chapters the nineteenth to the thirty-sixth and last, 

 are very short, some of them containing in the original 

 not more than a line or two. The following are some of 

 the remaining sentences: 



" Take care that you are better than you seem. 



Envy is to probity as shadow to the flesh ; so do not 

 fear it. 



* Be more ready to help friends than to hurt foes. 



* Play for relaxation, not for money. 



* Never lie, but circumvent. 



* A liar either is a fool, or else he differs little from a 

 thief and traitor. 



* Take heed that you never weaken a true cause with 

 falsehoods. 



* To avoid falsehood wear truth as a habit, occupy 

 yourself only on worthy things, and do not argue.
