If you say, 'Come back later',
He will speedily come to snatch you away.
Say rather, 'I shall not be in till I'm ninety-nine'".

More quotes by Sengai

Young bride
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!

He who comes knows only his coming,
He who goes knows only his end.
To be saved from the chasm,
Why cling to the cliff?
Clouds floating low
Never know where the breezes will blow them.
