Goose [pen] bee [wax] and calf [parchment] govern the world.
Anser, apie, vitellus, populus et regna gubernant.
One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen.
Nor is this lower world but a huge inn,
And men the rambling passengers.
Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweeteneth it.
