Destroy our leisure and you break love's bow.

While I am speaking the opportunity is lost.

It is some alleviation to ills we cannot cure to speak of them.

Dripping water hollows out a stone

There is no excellence uncoupled with difficulties.

The crop always seems better in our neighbor's field, and our neighbor's cow gives more milk.

Time glides away and as we get older through the noiseless years; the days flee and are restrained by no reign.
