By the fall of water-drops the pot is filled: such is the increase of riches, of knowledge, and of virtue.
Hitopadesa.

We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca.
