"Ah vitam perdidi operse nihil agendo."
"The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else—or wait till I get through." I dont know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along: But I felt kinda sneakin like, cause I knowd I done Him wrong. One day I needed the Lord—needed Him myself—needed Him right away, And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say Down in my accusin heart, "Nigger, Ise got too much to do, You get somebody else or wait till I get through."
"A warke it ys as easie to be done As tys to saye Jacke! robys on."
"The dog that trots about finds a bone."
"Ther n is no werkman whatever he be, That may both werken wel and hastily. This wol be done at leisure parfitly."
"The best verse hasnt been rhymed yet, The best house hasnt been planned, The highest peak hasnt been climbed yet, The mightiest rivers arent spanned; Dont worry and fret, faint-hearted, The chances have just begun For the best jobs havent been started, The best work hasnt been done."
