When your throat is parched with thirst, do you desire a cup of gold?
While we're talking, time will have meanly run on... pick today's fruits, not relying on the future in the slightest.
With you I should love to live, with you be ready to die.
As many men as there are existing, so many are their different pursuits.
That man lives happy and in command of himself, who from day to day can say I have lived. Whether clouds obscure, or the sun illumines the following day, that which is past is beyond recall.
Don't yield to that alluring witch, laziness, or else be prepared to surrender all that you have won in your better moments.
