"When one is past, another care we have: Thus woe succeeds a woe, as wave a wave."
"Small griefs find tongues: full casks are ever found To give (if any, yet) but little sound. Deep waters noiseless are; and this we know, That chiding streams betray small depth below."

"Hunger makes coarse meats delicates."
