When the roses are gone, nothing is left but the thorn.

If you have a voice, sing; but if you have good arms, then go in for dancing.

Though the strength is lacking, yet the willingness is commendable.

Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way.

Let love give way to business; give attention to business and you will be safe.

The result justifies the deed.

Man looks aloft, and with erected eyes Beholds his hereditary skies.
