Yilin Verse

出入無時,憂禍為災。行人失牛,利去不來。老馬少駒,勿與久居。

Coming and going without fixed hour; worry and misfortune become disaster. The traveler loses his ox; profit departs and does not return. An old horse, a young colt; do not dwell with them long.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
