Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Fatalism is the lazy man's way of accepting the inevitable.
It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.
Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.
The moral man is necessarily narrow in that he knows no other enemy than the 'immoral' man. 'He who is not moral is immoral!' and accordingly reprobate, despicable, etc. Therefore, the moral man can never comprehend the egoist.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
