A person cannot mount two horses or bend two bows,

and a servant cannot serve two masters,

or the servant will honor one and offend the other.

No one who drinks aged wine

suddenly want to drink new wine.

New wine is not poured into aged wineskins

or they may break,

and aged wine is not poured into a new wineskin

or it may spoil.

An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment

or it may tear.
