What Is Good?

"What is real good?'
I ask in musing mood.

"Order," said the law court;
"Knowledge," said the school;
"Truth," said the wise man;
"Pleasure," said the fool;
"Love," said the maiden;
"Beauty," said the page;
"Freedom," said the dreamer;
"Home," said the sage;
"Fame," said the soldier;
"Equity," said the seer;
Spake my heart fully sad:
"The answer is not here".

Then within my bosom
Softly this I heard:
"Each heart holds the secret:
'Kindness' is the word."

-John Boyle O'Reilly


Персидская пословица:

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not
He is a fool - shun him;
He who knows not and knows he knows not,
He is simple - teach him;
He who knows and knows not he knows,
He is asleep - wake him;
He who knows and knows he knows,
He is wise - follow him.

Это вам не "великая мудрость" Сократа.
