I don't particularly want to smear myself into a hillside.
When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed.
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.

Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
