Inheritance
Say not you know another, until you have divided an inheritance with him.
Lavater.
They who provide much wealth for their children, but neglect to improve them in virtue, do like those who feed their horses high, but never train them to the ménage.
Socrates.
Enjoy what thou hast inherited from thy sires if thou wouldst possess it; what we employ not is an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.
Goethe.
