    No man is born into the world, whose work
    Is not born with him; there is always work,

    And blessèd are the horny hands of toil!

    The venom clamors of a jealous woman
    Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
