And blessings which they have not prize:
In winter, wish for summer’s glow,
In summer, long for winter’s snow.

The best conduct a man can adopt is that which gains him the esteem of others without depriving him of his own.
Talmud.
215.
Whoso associates with the wicked will be accused of following their ways, though their principles may have made no impression upon him; just as if a person were in the habit of frequenting a tavern, he would not be supposed to go there for prayer, but to drink intoxicating liquor.
