Speaker 1 (0s): Welcome back everybody. So nice to see you, even though I can't really see ya, like the close my eyes and imagine you're right there. Imagine, imagine a beautiful sunny day with a few birds singing few light clouds out in the sky. Maybe some wind chimes. Isn't that nice. Let's get into some more Proverbs. These are beautiful. Start your day off the right way kind and selfish kind.
Generosity is wealth. They say, and kindness is even better than piety for altruism is the Mark of a superior being. And indeed kindness is the soul's best quality as kindness, nourishes, both giver and receiver. So kindness is not just for the sake of others, because if you sow kindness, you reap gratitude and kindness begets kindness as one.
Good turn deserves another. So even if life is short, a smile only takes a second. And certainly a good word never broke a tooth. Thus, a word of kindness is better than a fat pie. And even if you're hungry, don't go where the food is plentiful, but where the people are kind forget injuries, but never a kindness indeed right? Injuries in the sand, kindness in the marble except a forced kindness deserves.
No thanks. Bear in mind too, that kindness is remembered. Meanness is felt so way. Kindness is easily forgot and unkindness never. And be aware that the sandal tree perfumes, the ax that fills it two kind, yours truly is not always true and too much kindness can lead to tiredness for often the kind hearted becomes a slave, particularly if there is too much kindness, but not enough gratitude.
Just be aware that there is no honey without gall. So speak softly, but carry a big stick and recall that the hand of compassion is stung. When it strokes a scorpion, also be aware that to lend is to buy trouble for he, that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing as the greatest humiliation is helplessness. So try to be envied rather than pitied.
Remember he who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness because he travels fastest and who travels alone. So generally it is better to buy than to receive, especially as the buyer's eyes are in the seller's hands selfish, no one calls on a miser because asking a miser for help is like trying to dig through seawater just as a dog with a bone knows no friends, indeed what you have hold for.
It is better to save than to beg as desire has no rest and a person's desire grows day by day. However, all suffering is caused by desire. So grasp all and you lose all as gluttony kills more than the sword and a glutton young becomes a beggar old, or you can buy, buy, buy, and let the children pay. The debts for a selfish person will even take advantage of wind and clouds.
But he who has much is afraid of many, which is why greed keeps men poor. So don't be a slave to your desires, but know that all that is not given as lost and no man is an Island. Remember the misers bag is never full and coffin carries love and plague, but miser or not. After three days, guests and fish smell and the guest who breaks the dishes is not forgotten.
Thank you very much. Young and old young you're only young once. So make the most of it. The world is your oyster. Although those whom the gods love die, young, everything new is beautiful though. Nothing is so new. It has not happened before. So youth is the time to, so for the vigor of youth passes away like a spring flower, yes, youth slips away as water from a Sandy shore.
You have to learn to walk before you can run, but green twigs bend easily. So instructing the young is like engraving stone just as the young cock crows, as he hears the old one for what youth learns age does not forget a new broom, sweeps clean and diligent youth make easy age, but be aware. Young st. Old devil in fact, youth is wasted on the young for many mysterious roads, broken to young people, indeed youth ignorance and impatience ruined people and young folks think old folks fools while old folks know the young are, you can't put an old head on young shoulders.
So never send a boy to do a man's job. But remember when a Palm branch reaches its height, it must make way for a young one, four. There is always something new out of Africa, old walnuts and pears. You plant for your heirs, but old age comes for free. So the young rely on their parents. The old on their children, youth has a beautiful face old age, a beautiful soul for young twigs may be bent, but not old trees.
Elderly Venus is a richness. So an old man is put in a boat to give advice, not to row for taught by necessity. Old people know a lot. You don't teach the Forrest paths to an old gorilla more than you'd teach your grandmother how to suck eggs. Indeed, many, a good tune is played on an old fiddle. So cherish youth, but trust old age four, it's better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave.
And even though old cows like young grass, it's better to have an old spouse than none for a man grows old, but his courage remains young barber, old physician. They say four, we grow old fast, but wise only slowly for age doesn't make you wise, but it does make you slow. Of course, young men can die, but old men must for when a lion grows old, the flies attack him, which is why old women get uneasy.
When dry bones are mentioned, as old age leads to something worse, however, nobody is so old that he doesn't think he'll live for another year. So even if you can't teach an old dog new tricks, as we grow old, our bad qualities keep us young, but it's also true that old sins cast along shadows. So although everyone has seen a cradle, nobody knows their grave.
Speaker 2 (8m 40s): Hello
Speaker 1 (8m 40s): And sickness health, a healthy mind lives in a healthy body. Indeed. A healthy mind makes a healthy body, which is why a person's health is in his feet. Good health is the sister of, so he who would be healthy. Let him be cheerful for health is better than wealth. Of course, when you're busy, you are never ill because regularity is the best medicine, but life is uncertain.
So eat the dessert first for it's all one, whether you die of illness or love, often health is only valued. When sickness comes as illness gives you a taste for health. So remember prevention is better than cure an Apple a day, keeps the doctor away, but water is the oldest medicine. So take good care of the, well, never forget, have a clean heart.
And you may walk near the altar for if the heart be stout, a mouse can lift an elephant, but even the stout, his heart must fail at last. So your health comes first. You can hang yourself later. Healing laughter is the best medicine just as a library. As medicine for the mind and minor complaints are cured by eating. Otherwise. The sauna is the poor man's pharmacy.
As it's better to sweat than to sneeze, feed a cold starve, a fever and bear in mind. The medicine that hurts does you good? Don't worry for every ailing foot. There's a slipper. So don't hide the truth from your lawyer or your physician as hiding sickness prevents a cure. Every patient is a doctor after his cure, but mind before healing, others heal yourself and then scratch people where they itch console a suffer, even an enemy.
And rememb...
