Our neighbour's crop is always more fruitful and his cattle produce more milk than our own.
We suffer by our proximity. [Who get a blow intended for another.]
God himself helps those who dare.
A soldier when aged is not appreciated; the love of an old man sickens.
Pluck with quick hand the fruit that passes.
I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth.
