It matters not how long we live but how.
Life is as serious a thing as death.
Youth might be wise; we suffer less from pains than pleasures.
Leave the poor Some time for self-improvement. Let them not Be forced to grind the bones out of their arms For bread, but have some space to think and feel Like moral and immortal creatures.
Fulfill thy fate! Be-do-bear-and thank God.
Evil then results from imperfection.
