A Man's Ingress Into The World Is Naked And Bare, His Progress Through The World Is Trouble And Care

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

A man's ingress into the world is naked and bare,
His progress through the world is trouble and care;
And lastly, his egress out of the world, is nobody knows where.
If we do well here, we shall do well there:
I can tell you no more if I preach a whole year.
-- John Edwin (1749-1790)
-- The Eccentricities of John Edwin (second edition),
-- Vol. i, p. -- 74, London, 1791
