471 Generous minds have more plea sure in giving than receiving 472 One man that is publicly hanged saves twenty from the gallows 473 It makes no difference in what country you have been born but there is some difference in where you have been educated 474 Every man is known by his dress A beggar wears a ragged coat a gen tleman wears a long coat but a fashion able man wears no coat at all 475 Love is said to be blind which is the reason why so many people miss the right road to happiness 476 By going into a lottery you com mit a robbery on yourself 1 477 We often pride ourselves upon qualities that in truth do not belong to US
478 She is not a wise woman whose ears are open to every tattling gossip 479 A marriage consummated without consent of parents is never cordially for given 480 Every age has its own pleasures 481 Whatever sum a vain man would give for a well written panegyric he would give double the sum to avoid the lash of the satirist 1 482 There is certainly an overruling Providence that prevents some people from falling into destructive errors that nothing but such an interference could have prevented 483 He must be an abandoned man who disregards what the world says of him
