So I come back again to the condition that the Golden Rule, if one adopts it, is a difficult master to serve. The ship__ captain will not throw the compass overboard because the wind blows fair and the day is funny. For he knows, from the experiences of the ocean__ instability, that the danger days of storm are always __ust ahead._ So the compass must always be handy and obedience to it must always be loyal. And so with the Golden Rulle__he compass must be ever at hand through life__ journey. It will see us through trying times. And perhaps the most trying of all times comes when success is riding high and we may be tempted to __hrow the compass overboard._ It is then we must remember that all good days in human life come from the mastery of the days of trouble that are forever recurrent.

So if you have to live amongst men, you must allow everyone the right to exist in accordance with the character he has, whatever it turns out to be: and all you should strive to do is to make use of this character in such a way as its kind and nature permit, rather than to hope for any alteration in it, or to condemn it off-hand for what it is. This is the true sense of the maxim--Live and let live. That, however, is a task which is difficult in proportion as it is right; and he is a happy man who can once for all avoid having to do with a great many of his fellow creatures.
