How little you know about the age you live in if you think that honey is sweeter than cash in hand
The rose is often found near the nettle.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
Simplicity is a jewel rarely found.
Sleep, thou repose of all things; sleep, thou gentlest of the deities; thou peace of the mind, from which care flies; who doest soothe the hearts of men wearied with the toils of the day, and refittest them for labor.
The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.
