Łzy nic nie pomogą,każda choroba tak się skończyć musi:człowiek jest swoją najgorszą chorobą –bój się nie śmierci, lecz zatraty duszy.A to, że w życiu wciąż trzeba iść naprzód,choć z każdym krokiem jest się bliżej grobu,niech cię nie martwi – nie zatrzymasz marszu,na to sam Pan Bóg nie dał nam sposobu.Co do mnie, robię krok ostatni wreszcie.
