Ben Sirá

by Laura
(Jimenez, Chih. Mexico)

Do not winnow in every wind, or walk along every by-way. Be steady in your convictions, sincere in your speech. Be quick to listen, and deliberate in giving an answer. If you understand the matter, give your neighbour an answer, if not, put your hand over your mouth.
