09) Do Not Think of Your Faults

You will find it less easy (=hard)

to uproot faults than choke them

by gaining virtues.

Do not think of your faults,

still less of others' faults.

In every person {who comes near you}

look for (=find) what is good and strong:

honor that, rejoice in it, as you can,

try to imitate it, and your faults will drop

off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
 

08) Man Is The Creator of Circumstances

 

Man is not the slave, 

so much as he is the creator,

of circumstances;

and <by the exercise of his free will>,

he can direct his actions

<so that> their actions shall be

productive of good rather than evil.

07) The Great Use of School Education

 

     

    The great use (of school education)

is not <so much to teach> you 

many things <as to teach> you 

the art (of learning);

<so that> you may apply that art

<in the afterlife<< for yourselves>,

and may apply on any matter

{to which you choose 

to turn your mind in it}.

06)The Civilization of Honey-Bees

      

     In the world, there is no creature

{with which man has surrounded

himself }{that seems so much 

like a product of civilization,

so much like the result of development

on special lines and in special fields,

as the honney-bee}.

     Indeed, a colony of bees, 

<with their neatness and love of order,

their peace of love, their public-

spiritedness, their thrift, and

their division of labor,

their complex economics>,

seems as far removed

<from a condition of rude nature>

as does a walled city or a cathedral town.

05) Forever Humanitarians ?

 

     There are many people {who believe

themselves to be fundamentally humane},

and actually, behave as humanitarians,

but who, <if changed circumstance offered

occasions for being cruel>, <especially if

the cruelty were represented as a means

to some noble end>, would give away

to the temptation with enthusiasm.

Hence comes the necessity of avoiding war,

whether international or civil.

04) Hearing Our Faults From Ourselves

      <Though>we do not like to hear our faults

from others, it does not mean that we are not conscious of them. 

<The more> conscious we are of them, 

<the less> we like to hear of them

 from others, and <the more> we like

to hear from ourselves.
