Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students

who waste their hours in idleness or in practices that corrupt soul
and body. The ant prepares for future seasons; but many gifted with
reasoning powers fail to prepare for the future immortal life.

The sun, the moon, the stars, the solid rocks, the flowing stream,
the broad, restless ocean, teach lessons that all would do well to
heed.
[191]
