The busy bee has no time for sorrow.

he hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clockcan measure. All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap. Bring out number, weight, and measure in a year of dearth. No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. A dead body revenges not injuries. The most sublime act is to set another before you. If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
