“How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie ont, ah fie! tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:13-18.
