None but the brave deserves the fair.
Sweet is pleasure after pain.
Men are but children of a larger growth.
John Dryden (born this day in 1681)
勇者のみ、ひとり美人に値する。
Yuja-nomi hitori bijin-ni ataisuru.
苦労のあとの楽しみこそよけれ。
Kuro-no ato-no tanoshimi-koso yo-kere.
大人は、大きくなった子供にすぎない。
Otona-wa, okiku-natta kodomo-ni suginai.
