HOUSEHOLD MAXIMS

By "Observer."

Don't think that because your neighbours' house is run with less noise than yours that they fave Dont imagine that your servants are worse than anyone elses: A bad workman always feels that the fault lies with his tools. oe When you conquer yourself you conquer the world, till then any chance flea may be your master.

Don't suppose other people's work igs easier than yours. Some day you may have to take on their job amd it would be humiliating if you found you couldn't do it. ae The way you tread your servant is the way you are giving the rest of the world the right to treat you.
