"He that has a goal and an heir, wants death at the right time for the goal and the heir.

And out of reverence for the goal and the heir, he will hang up no more withered wreaths in the sanctuary of life.

Verily, not the rope-makers will I resemble: they lengthen out their cord, and thereby go ever backward.

Many a one, also, waxes too old for his truths and triumphs; a toothless mouth has no longer the right to every truth.

And whoever wants to have fame, must take leave of honour betimes, and practise the difficult art of--going at the right time."
