Sleep, rest of nature, O sleep, most gentle of the divinities, peace of the soul, thou at whose presence care disappears, who soothest hearts wearied with daily employments, and makest them strong again for labour!

What is harder than rock, or softer than water? Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Persevere.

Love is a believing creature.

Dripping water hollows out a stone

How little you know about the age you live in if you think that honey is sweeter than cash in hand

A bitter drug oft brings relief.

All things change, nothing perishes.
