________________ Words without Action Far more praiseworthly is a person who translates just one attribute into the reality of life than his counterpart who delivers a thousand discourses on themes innumerable: even as he who offers nothing but hard bread is far more earnest at his job than the entertainer who throws out from the tip of his tongue a full menu of attractive sweets, but practically serves none! O Woman! O Woman! Thou bestower of love, inspiration and delight! If thou shouldst proffer nothing save the wine of profligacy, who then shall vouchsafe the elixir of prowess ? Plaint You always keep in mind what others had spoken unto you, but do you really bear in mind what you had said unto others? If you can store that in your memory, not the slightest scope shall be left for your mouth to utter a single plaint as to what others had been hinting about you.
