Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. (Proverbs 6:6)
Every happenstance is like a market day: The person who knows how to do business will make much money, while the person who does not know how to do business will suffer losses. (St. Mark the Monk, Counsels on the Spiritual Life, Kindle 2800-2801)
