86. "When a cunning person speaks fair, it is for his own interest 

 not out of 'respect for others ; the laughing voice of the night-bird 

 is an ill omen, it proceeds not from joy. 



87. If a man grows too famous, on account of his great advance- 

 ment, though he endures for a while, yet at last he is destroyed. The

 that dwell in a house whose upper roof is ruinous, or under a rock 

 whose summit threatens to fall, are in continual fear.
