Status Updates From The Complete Works of Georg...

"O all ye who passe by, behold and see: Man stole the fruit, but I must climbe the tree; The tree of life to all, but onely me: Was ever grief like Mine?"

I thought of you when I read this quote from "The Complete Works of George Herbert" by George Herbert -

"If thou do ill, the joy fades, not the pains: If well; the pain doth fade, the joy remains."

Pitch thy behaviour low, thy projects high;
So shalt thou humble and magnanimous be.
Sink not in spirit:
who aimeth at the sky
Shoots higher much than he that means a tree.
