To have begun is to have done half the task; dare to be wise. Usually the modest person passes for someone reserved, the silent for a sullen person We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest. No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water. The one who cannot restrain their anger will wish undone, what their temper and irritation prompted them to do. |
