    Aphorism #32 Have the Reputation of being Gracious.

    Â’Tis the chief glory of the high and mighty to be gracious, a prerogative of kings to conquer universal goodwill. That is the great advantage of a commanding position--to be able to do more good than others. Those make friends who do friendly acts. On the other hand, there are some who lay themselves out for not being gracious, not on account of the difficulty, but from a bad disposition. In all things they are the opposite of Divine grace.

    Nietzsche said it better. The question is one of disposition toward life: "who would want to live the same life again." It is disposition that determines your inhereted graciousness from God, and what you'll miss when having to go. Life becomes precious. Love dances and rules by His Grace.
