Chapter 131
A doctor had been treating a sick man for some time when the man died under his care. At the funeral the doctor walked about talking to the relatives and said, “If only our poor friend had refrained from drinking wine and had taken care of his body, he would not be lying here.”
“My good sir,” one of the mourners responded, “your words are really useless right now. You should have offered these prescriptions when your patient was still alive to take them.”
Sane advice often comes too late.
