My race being run, I love to watch the race

Life, a beauty chased by tragic laughter.

I have seen flowers come in stony places
And kind things done by men with ugly faces
And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust too.

In this life he laughs longest who laughs last.

The days that make us happy make us wise

Laugh and be merry, remember, better the world with a song. / Better the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong.
