Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.
Action achieves more than words.
How sweet to remember the trouble that is past.
Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself]
Old age is not a total misery. Experience helps.
Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind.
