What shelter to grow ripe is ours?
What leisure to grow wise?

There is a garden in her face
Where roses and white lilies blow;
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow;
There cherries grow that none may buy,
Till Cherry-Ripe themselves do cry.Thomas Campion
Cherry ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,
Full and fair ones; come and buy!
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer, there,
Where my Julia's lips do smile;
There's the land, or cherry-isle.Robert Herrick
Wise men never grow up; indeed, they grow younger, for they lose the appalling worldly wisdom of youth.
John Buchan
As I slowly grow wise I briskly grow cautious.
Mark Twain
As I slowly grow wise I briskly grow cautious.
