We Should Even Go Beyond Doing What

No One Who Is In This World Will Deny That Evils Exist. What, Then, Do We Say? That Evil Is Not A Living And Animated Substance, But A Condition Of The Soul Which Is Opposed To Virtue And Which Springs Up In The Slothful Because Of Their Falling Away From Good.

Resolve To Treat The Things In Your Possession As Belonging To Others.

I Reckon Silence More Profitable Than Speech, For? In The Words Of The Preacher, 'the Words Of Wise Men Are Heard In Quiet' (eccles. 9:17).

When Someone Steals Another's Clothes, We Call Them A Thief. Should We Not Give The Same Name To One Who Could Clothe The Naked And Does Not? The Bread In Your Cupboard Belongs To The Hungry; The Coat Unused In Your Closet Belongs To The One Who Needs It; The Shoes Rotting In Your Closet Belong To The One Who Has No Shoes; The Money Which You Hoard Up Belongs To The Poor.

Do Not, As Is Usually The Case, Thrust The Care Of The Common Weal Upon Your Neighbor; Then, As Each One In His Own Thoughts Makes Light Of The Matter, All Find To Their Surprise That They Have Drawn Upon Themselves By Their Neglect A Personal Misfortune.
