No man can promise himself even fifty years of life, but any man may if he please, live in the proportion of fifty years in forty: let him rise early, that he may have the day before him; and let him make the most of the day, by determining to spend it on two sorts of acquaintance only; those by whom something may be got, and those from whom something may be learnt.
—Charles Caleb Colton

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
