    Mere verbiage,--it is not worth a carrot!
    Why Socrates or Plato--where's the odds?--
    Once taught a jay to supplicate the Gods,
    And made a Polly-theist of a Parrot!

Poor and content is rich, and rich enough;
But riches fineless is as poor as winter
To read more

Poor and content is rich, and rich enough;
But riches fineless is as poor as winter
To him that ever fears he shall be poor.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven:
A time read more

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a
time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time
to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to
cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a
time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of
peace.

favour rather than silver and gold.
