| Ant |
| Ants never sleep. Emerson—Nature. Ch. IV. | 1 |
| Parvula (nam exemplo est) magni formica laboris Ore trahit, quodcunque potest, atque addit acervo Quem struit; haud ignara ac non incauta futuri. For example, the tiny ant, a creature of great industry, drags with its mouth whatever it can, and adds it to the heap which she is piling up, not unaware nor careless of the future. Horace—Satires. Bk. I. I. 33. | 2 |
| While an ant was wandering under the shade of the tree of Phæton, a drop of amber enveloped the tiny insect; thus she, who in life was disregarded, became precious by death. Martial—Epigrams. Bk. VI. Ep. 15. | 3 |
| Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Proverbs. VI. 6. | 4 |
