PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 22
COMPLAISANCE
211. The gracious expect no return when they oblige : how ever can the world repay the rain-cloud ?
212. The substance gathered in by the worthy by the labour of their hands is all for others' use.
213. A better thing than a gracious complaisance cannot be had either here or in heaven.
214. He alone liveth who knoweth what is proper : he who knoweth not what is fitting shall be classed with the dead.
215. Behold the village tank filled with water to its brim : like unto it is the prosperity of the wise man that loveth the world.
