That's pretty good.

 Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense; benefits ought to be handed ought drop by drop, so that they may be relished the more.
  Niccolò Machiavelli

 I stuck it out as long as I could. I just came to a point where it took me four seconds to drop back on a five-step drop. By that time, I'm sacked.

 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: / But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
