Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Talks to Farmers
First, think of solomon's description OF A slothful man. Solomon was a man whom none of us would contradict, for he knew as much as all of us put to gether; and besides that, he was under divine inspira tion when he wrote this Book of Proverbs. Solomon says, a sluggard is a man void of understanding. The slothful does not think so; he puts his hands in his pockets, and you would think from his important air that he had all the Bank of England at his disposal. You can see that he is a very wise man in his own esteem, for he gives himself airs which are meant to impress you with a sense of his superior abilities. How he has come by, his wisdom it would be hard to say.
