You don't get points for predicting rain. You get points for building arks.
Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge.
How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't, like, cashing Social Security checks; he wasn't hanging out - he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work.
Noah's wife, who said to him after 40 days and 40 nights, It's your turn to spread the papers on the floor! Never got a dinner!
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
The Titanic was built by professionals. The Ark was built by volunteers.
If you believe you can accomplish everything by "cramming" at the eleventh hour, by all means, don't lift a finger now. But you may think twice about beginning to build your ark once it has already started raining

The Greeks explored this; there were very particular meters used in making war, different ones for a love chant.
