34. [Be cheerful to friends.]

"Let thy face be shining the time that thou hast: verily that which

cometh out of the store doth not enter again; but bread is for

apportionment, and he that is niggardly is an accuser, empty of his

belly. It befalleth that a quarrelsome man is a spoiler of things; do it

not unto him who cometh unto thee. The remembrance of a man is of his

kindliness in the years after the staff [of power?]."[296]
