The Best

Good is to have leftovers.

And better is to have the needed.

Good is to enjoy life.

And better yet to know it.

Good is to be helped.

And better to triumph alone.

Good is to know how to speak.

And better to know to keep quiet.

Good is the right company.

But it’s better to be alone.

Good is to live without having to work.

But better is to have it.

Good is to be applauded.

But better is for your flaws to be pointed.

Good is to be free.

But better is the “enslavement” of the honest man.

Good is to become big.

But better yet to remain a child.

Good is to be loved.

But better for you to love!
