And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
Wit thou well that I will not live long after thy days.
Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods.
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little.
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through.
When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man's life.
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, no winter in thy year.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
