G. P. de Martin ends today's lecture on 'Proverbs and Aphorisms' with some examples that must seem highly pertinent to his audience:
'Everything comes to him who waits' including the end of my remarks to which you have listened so patiently.
I will make you a present of my favourite proverb. 'If every man his doorstep kept the city would be clean.'
It is not a bad code of ethics.
