bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with
vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of
every obstacle."
"The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest."
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
