We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.
We all survive more than we think we can.
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
We are living longer, and we need to live better.
We eat to live.
We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.
We ought as much as we can to endeavour the Perfecting of our Beings, and that we be as happy as possibly we may.
We can do all we wish while we live; afterward, we are less than the meanest.
We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.
