From the Mahabharata. <br /> <br />Before the Ender comes, whose charioteer <br />Is swift or slow Disease, lay up each year <br />Thy harvests of well-doing, wealth that kings <br />Nor thieves can take away. When all the things <br />Thou tallest thine, goods, pleasures, honors fall, <br />Thou in thy virtue shalt survive them all.<br /><br />John Greenleaf Whittier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laying-up-treasure/
