ten good things

Ten good things:

There are ten good things for which no man has ever been sorry:

For doing well to all:

For speaking evil of no one:

For hearing before judging:

For thinking before speaking:

For holding an angry tongue:

For being kind to the distressed:

For asking pardon for all wrongs:

For being patient toward everybody:

For stopping the ear of tale bearer:

For dis-believing most of the evil reports.
