Friday Frills

Do not say all you know,
 for he who says all he knows,

 
often says more than he knows. 

Do not tell all you hear,
 for he who tells all he hears,


 often tells more than he hears. 

Do not spend all you have, 
for he who spends all he has,

 
often spends more than he has. 

Do not covet all you see,
 for he who covets all he sees
,

 often wants more than he sees.
