Seite 481 - No, there is a necessity in Fate, Why still the brave bold man is fortunate; He keeps his object ever full in sight, And that assurance holds him firm and right, True, 'tis a narrow way that leads to bliss, \ But right before there is no precipice; ) Fear makes men look aside, and so their footing miss.
Seite 417 - Person, as I take it, is the name for this self. Wherever a man finds what he calls himself there, I think, another may say is the same person.
