148 Where passion ends repentance begins 149 He who burns his candle when the sun shines must soon expect to go to bed in the dark 150 When you find your mind rather irritable from illness retire to your bed chamber and do not let any one be a witness of your infirmity When re covered you will find this to be good advice 151 When a child shows a disposition to be nice in eating it is the duty of a parent to correct that propensity before it becomes a habit 152 Of all fools a travelled fool is the most intolerable He brings back the follies of other nations and adds them to his own 153 He is in the way to be wise who can bear reproof
154 When you set about a good work do not rest till you have completed it 155 There is more money got by in dustry then is spent by prodigality 156 Teach your children early the difference between virtue and vice It will soon become a second nature 157 Of all our innocent follies castle building is the most foolish 158 The stocks and ducking stool are excellent preservatives of village harmony 159 Try to deserve a friend and you will soon get one 160 There was a time when a young physician wished to be old but the fashion of the times tells him that it is better to continue as he is 161 An artful woman is a saint in the morning and a glow worm at night
