148. If you think a man to be rich that neither can enjoy, nor 

 bestow charitably his substance on others, it is very easy for you to 

 make a rich man, by fancying that a whole mountain consists of pure 

 gold. 



149. Though there be many learned men, who know and tell 

 what not a virtuous action is ; there are very few in this world 

 who would practise it, after having it thus understood. 



150. Though a man has his birth, form, juvenile age, yet, without 

 good qualities, he is not handsome ; though peacock's feathers be 

 beautiful, yet will they be convenient for the ornament of a great 

 man? 



15 1 . By no endeavour can it be done that a naturally bad man 

 be turned into an honest man. How long soever you boil water, 

 it is impossible to make it burn like fire.
