Senseless is he who dares with power contend.

Know then this awful truth: it is not given

To elude the wisdom of omniscient Heaven.

Toil, and the slothful man shall envy thee.

The more children, the more cares.

Sometimes a day is a step-mother, sometimes a mother.

Whoever forgeth for another ill,

With it himself is overtaken still.

The procrastinator has ever to contend with loss.

The idler never shall his garners fill.
