CHINESE PROVERBS 83 CHINESE PROVERBS EQLHVALENT TO U. s. A. coMMoN sAY1Nos. The best of friends mast part. Even although you accompany the princely man a thousand li, tinally you must bid him farewell. A stitch in time saves nine. If alittle hole is not repaired, it will increase to a foot and a half. Two heads are better than one. The knowledge of one man is not equal to that of two. Easier said than done. To behold a task is easier than to do it. In one ear and out the other. Enter by the east ear, exit by the west. What's eoerybody's business is nobody's business. When one priest carries water there is some to drink, when two priest together carry water there is some to drink, when three priests carry water there is none to drink. You can't get blood out ofa turnip. It is useless to look for bones in a hen's egg. There arc two sides to every question. To know only one side of the case and not to know both. If yon 'want a thing done, do it yourself. Making requests of others is not comparable to asking them of yourself. Evil companions corrupt good manners. If you follow the good you will learn the good, if you follow the beggar you will beg for food. All men are brethren. All within the four seas are brothersg Loch the stable after the horse is stolen. When the guest comes we sweep the floor, When the thief goes we close the door. i V Like teacher, like' pupil. b The illustrious teacher produces a good disciple. As you would that nz-en should do unto yon, do ye also -unto them. What for yourself wouldbc a bother, Do not bestow upon another. Where there's a will, there's a way. VVhere there is a purpose it will finally be accomplished. Whatsoerer a man soweth, that also shall he reap. Sow a melon reap a melon, sow a bean, reap a bean. Self praise is no recommendation. A quack doctor has no ehicacious medicine. Man loolceth on the out-ward appearance but God looketh on the heart. In drawing a tiger you draw his skin. it is difiicult to draw his bonesg in knowing a man you know only the outward appearance, you cannot know his heart. '
