The lower millstone grinds as much as the upper one. [ Proverb ]
Since your eyes are so sharp, that you cannot only look through a millstone, but clean through the mind. [ Lyly ]

The human heart is like a millstone in a mill; when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds, and bruises the wheat into flour; if you put no wheat in it, it still grinds on; but then it is itself it grinds, and slowly wears away. [ M. Luther ]
