It may be profitable to you to reflect , in future , that there never were greed and cunning in the world yet , that did not do too much , and overreach themselves . It is as certain as death . ' ` Or as certain as they used to teach at school -LRB- the same school where I picked up so much umbleness -RRB- , from nine o'clock to eleven , that labour was a curse ; and from eleven o'clock to one , that it was a blessing and a cheerfulness , and a dignity , and I do n't know what all , eh ? ' said he with a sneer . ` You preach , about as consistent as they did . Wo n't umbleness go down ?
