Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. — Bible. Collection of religious texts
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.
Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
