108. It is doubtful at first, whether a person is our enemy or 

 friend. Meat, if not properly digested, becomes poison ; but poison 

 also, if one knows how to use it, may turn to medicine. 



109. To be one's own master, is always counted as happiness ; to 

 be in the power of others, is always held as misery. Common things 

 are the cause of quarrels. We are bound, if we have promised a 

 thing. 



110. Tou may have, inwardly, all good qualities, but, if you 

 have not a proper dress, you are despised by all. Though the bat 

 is a prudent bird, yet since he has no feather, it is said, he is reject- 

 ed by all winged animals. 



111. A foolish man is pleasing, when he speaks but little ; a 

 king is dignified when he keeps secluded ; imposing spectacles are 

 beautiful if viewed at a far distance ; a jewel, if rare, fetches a 

 great price.
