Experience is by industry achieved, and perfected by the swift course of time

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.

A most poor man made tame to fortune's blows,
Who by the art of known and feeling sorrows
Am pregnant to good pity.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad
