O God, How Lovely Still Is Life!

Live With Your Century; But Do Not Be Its Creature.

It Is Well For A Man When He Has Learned To Endure What He Cannot Change, And To Give Up With Dignity What He Cannot Retain.

To Gain A Crown By Fighting Is Great, To Reject It Divine.

Happy He Who Learns To Bear What He Cannot Change.

Many A Crown Shines Spotless Now That Yet Was Deeply Sullied In The Winning.
