JEFFERSON'S TEN RULES
Thomas Jefferson, who framed the Declaration of Independence and was the third President of the United States, also thought out these ten- rules, which everyone" would do well to remember and practise:— "• - -Never put off until to-morrow what you can do /to-day. ' - Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. - - ' Neve^ spend- money before you have" earned it. Never buy what you don't want'because it is cheap. ' . Pride costs more than hunger, thirst, -and cold. We seldom repent having eaten too little. _^ Nothing is " troublesome that we do willingly. , " _How much pain the evils* have cost us that ' have never happened. Take things- away by the smooth handle. ~ When_amgry, count ten before you speak ;" if very angry, count a hundred. '
