Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Royal Enfield is an Indian multinational motorcycle manufacturing company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, Worcestershire, England, which was responsible for the design and original production of the Royal Enfield Bullet, the longest-lived motorcycle design in history.

Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders' work is useless.

Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good.

It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning

till late at night, fearing you will starve to death;

for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.

Look at the lilies! They don't toil and spin,

and yet Solomon in all his glory was not robed as well as they are.

And if God provides clothing for the flowers that are here today

and gone tomorrow, don't you suppose that he will

provide clothing for you, you doubters?
