Proverbios 13

Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads another to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.

La esperanza que se prolonga, es tormento del corazón: mas árbol de vida es el deseo cumplido.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
