Hoe while it is spring, and enjoy the best anticipations. It is not much matter if things do not turn out well.

Warner’s line uses a farming metaphor—"hoe while it is spring"—to urge timely effort and the savoring of hopeful expectation while conditions are favorable. The second sentence undercuts anxious outcome-fixation: even if results disappoint, the season of preparation and the pleasure of anticipation have their own value. Read this way, the quote balances practicality (work when the ground is workable) with a stoic, almost playful resignation about what follows. It suggests a philosophy of living that prizes present opportunity and emotional resilience over perfect control of the future.
