The righteous are humble as little children,
yet they behave like grown men.
The wicked exalt themselves as great men,
yet they behave like impudent children.
The righteous reject the world, and prevail;
The wicked receive the world they yearn for, and stumble.
A man who hates unrigteous gain will turn away at its gates,
and a man who serves his lusts will inquire of it carefully.
The man who is judged by no one around him will prosper in all he does,
yet the man who has no one around to judge him won't know if his way is good or bad.

So...Necessity is the Mother of Invention!
