ADAGE THROUGH THE AGES

​The old adage still rings true; 

As a man thinks in his heart so is he:

At the place of exchange, strength for frailties 

At the place of exchange, beauty for ashes

At the place of exchange, lofty ideals for unhelpful  thoughts, set aside

At the place of exchange, possibilities for shortcomings

At the place of exchange, prolongation for brevity

At the place of exchange, rest for heavy ladens

At the place of exchange, lofty ideals for unhelpful  thoughts, set aside
