So, if you don't summon a book and a light before dawn, If you don't set your mind on honest aims and pursuits, On waking, you'll be tortured by envy… - Horace
" "So, if you don't summon a book and a light before dawn,
If you don't set your mind on honest aims and pursuits,
On waking, you'll be tortured by envy or lust.
Why so quick to remove a speck from your eye, when
If it's your mind, you put off the cure till next year?
Who's started has half finished: dare to be wise: begin!
