Classic Poem

This world exists because men exist who even if they
were to win the divine drink of the gods would not drink it
by themselves only thinking of its sweetness, men without
hate, without slackness in action though they may have fears
like the fears of other men, who would even give their lives
for fame but would not accept fame with dishonor were it
to gain them all the world, men who have no regrets, and with virtues
so exalted, never exert their powerful energies
for themselves but only for others. It is because they exist that we do!
