Our neighbour's crop is always more fruitful and his cattle produce more milk than our own.
Work while your strength and years permit you; crooked age will by-and-by come upon you with silent foot.
Burdens become light when cheerfully borne.
God himself favors the brave.
Pleasure is sweetest when 'tis paid for by another's pain.
There is no such thing as pure, unalloyed pleasure; some bitter ever mingles with the sweet.
