There is ripe fruit over your head.

A man may travel fast enough and earn his living on the road.

There are theoretical reformers at all times, and all the world over, living on anticipation.

It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.
