I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing--for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it's impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. but boxing is only like boxing.

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated....as therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all....no man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because i am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
