THE CURE FOR EXHAUSTION

Sometimes, exhausted
with toil and endeavour,
I wish I could sleep
for ever and ever;
but then this reflection
my longing allays:
I shall be doing it
one of these days.

Additional quotes by Piet Hein

The noble art of losing face
may some day save the human race
and turn into eternal merit
what weaker minds would call disgrace.

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Stomach-ache can be a curse;
heart-ache may be even worse;
so thank Heaven on your knees
if you've got but one of these.

Mankind

Men, said the Devil,
are good to their brothers:
they don’t want to mend
their own ways, but each other's.
