It becomes us, therefore, to be contented, and dutiful subjects.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.
We become what we repeatedly do.
We participate in the creation of the world by decreating ourselves.
We become what we do.
Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
The adequate study of culture, our own and those on the opposite side of the globe, can press on to fulfillment only as we learn today from the humanities as well as from the scientists.
Our lives our guided by that general conception of the course of things which has been created by society for social purposes.
It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
Consequently, most of us really exist at the mercy of other people's formulations of what's important.
To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.
