You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
And may I live the remainder of my life ... for myself; may there be plenty of books and many years' store of the fruits of the earth!

He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.

Begin, be bold and venture to be wise.
