Chapter 18 (be not over-anxious)
 
     
1.
Do not lie down at night in fear of tomorrow :
 
2.
'Comes day, how will tomorrow be ?'
 
3.
Man ignores how tomorrow will be.
 
4.
The god is ever in his perfection.
 
5.
The man is ever in his failure.
 
6.
The words men say are one thing, but
 
7.
the deeds of God are another.
 
8.
Do not say : 'I have done no wrong.',
 
9.
and then labour to seek a quarrel.
 
10.
The wrong belongs not to God.
 
11.
He seals the verdict with his finger.
 
12.
There is no perfection before God,
 
13.
but there is failure before him.
 
14.
If one labours to seek perfection, 
 
15.
in a moment he has marred it.
 
16.
Keep firm your mind, and steady your physical heart.
 
17.
do not steer with your tongue.
 
18.
If a man's tongue is the boat's rudder, 
 
19.
the Lord of ALL is yet its pilot.
