Take fortune as it falls, as one adviseth:
Yet Heywood bids me take it as it riseth,
And while I think to do as both do teach,
It falls and riseth quite beside my reach.

“Above all gifts we most should prize
The wisdom that makes others wise;
To others when ourselves are dust
We leave behind this sacred trust,
We may not know, when we are gone,
The good we shall on earth have done;
Enough in going is the thought
For once we acted as we ought.”
Walter Savage Landor
