" "o halde ölümlülerin bütün yaşamı bir çeşit masaldan başka nedir, birilerinin başka birilerinin maskelerini takarak sahneye çıktığı, yönetmenin sahneyi terk etmelerini emrettiği ana kadar herkesin kendine düşen rolü oynadığı bir çeşit masaldan? yönetmen bir oyuncuya kostümünü değiştirip sahneye çıkmasını emreder, böylece demin mor giysileri içinde kralı oynayan, az sonra paçavralar içinde bir köleciği oynar. her şey bir gölgeden ibarettir, ama bu masalı oynamanın başa yolu yoktur.

Just as nothing is more foolish than misplaced wisdom, so too, nothing is more imprudent than perverse prudence. And surely it is perverse not to adapt yourself to the prevailing circumstances, to refuse 'to do as the Romans do,' to ignore the party-goer's maxium 'take a drink or take your leave,' to insist that the play should not be a play. True prudence, on the other hand, recognizes human limitations and does not strive to leap beyond them; it is willing to run with the herd, to overlook faults tolerantly or to share them in a friendly spirit. But, they say, that is exactly what we mean by folly. (I will hardly deny it — as long as they will reciprocate by admitting that this is exactly what is means to perform the play of life.)
