… to see where the cat’s-paw wind is coming, you will never sow your field, and you will never reap. You had better sow every year. Sow when the spring looks black. Sow when the early summer seems to forecast a stormy autumn. Sow year by year. That is the right thing to do. Some years you will lose, but at the end, when your life is done, you will have made a large gain. A great profit.
