MODERN PROVERBS.

A FOOL learns from no one. A wise man learns from everybody.
Do the best you can, and God and his angels will want to help you.
To have no aim in life is to sooner or later fall into the ditch.
No man can be made rich whose happiness depends on money.
Joy has a new meaning when we have learned what sadness is.
Keep out of the crowd where vulgarity passes for wit and humor.
A day spent in bad company is a long step taken toward the pit.
It costs a great deal more to be proud than it does to be generous.
A word to the wise is enough, when it happens to be the right word.
The man who minds his own business will always have something to do.
No rich man was ever happy unless he used a part of his money to make others so.
When the wolf puts on sheep's clothing, he is pretty sure to have mutton for dinner.—Selected.
