The cask will long retain the flavour of the wine with which it was first seasoned.
It is hard! But what can not be removed, becomes lighter through patience.
Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes, bids the coward flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the accomplishment of our wishes.
The impartial earth opens alike for the child of the pauper and the king.
Life gives nothing to man without labor.
Gladly take the gifts of the present hour and abandon serious things!
