Alice in Wonderland: I Never Fancied, Jewel

i profess you jewel

so live your life that the fear of death can never enter you heart. trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. see to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. prepare a noble death song for the day you go over the great divide.

always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting of passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. show respect to all people and grovel to none.

when you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. if you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. abuse no one, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

when it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with he fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pay for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
