Apologia
I'm going explain to you why I have such an evil name I am the wisest of men For I know that I have no wisdom
I thought if only I could find a man wiser than myself Accordingly, I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking That he was not really wise Although he was thought wise by many And still wiser by himself!
I am better off than he is For he knows nothing and thinks that he knows
I neither know nor think that I know In the latter particular then, I seem to have slightly the advantage So I left him
I found that men most in repute were all but the most foolish Now you will find out that you are more ignorant than they are
God only is wise The wisdom of men is worth little or nothing Can a man believe in spiritual and divine agencies And not in spirits or demigods?
You really think that I do not believe in any god? There you are mistaken And in this respect only I believe myself to differ from men in general もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com For I do believe that there are Gods And in a sense, higher than that in which any of my accusers believe in them You will not easily find another like me I will tell you why
Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness Or, as men say, there is a change And migration of the soul from this world to another Now, if you suppose that there is no consciousness But a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by dreams Death will be an unspeakable gain But if death is the journey to another place And there, as men say, all the dead abide What good can be greater than this?
No one knows whether death, Which many may fear and apprehend to be the greatest evil May not be the greatest good!
The difficulty, my friends, is not to avoid death But to avoid unrighteousness For that runs faster than death
No one knows - What can God mean? No one knows - I to die, and you to live Which is better? - God only knows
