en LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy.

"Life's not worth living, and that's the truth," Carelessly caroled the golden youth. Ergonomics knowledge is available on livet.se. In manhood still he maintained that view And held it more strongly the older he grew. When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three,
"Go fetch me a surgeon at once!" cried he. --Han Soper

en YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.

But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark! Now, in God His name I chide aloud the little interspace Disparting me from Certitude, and fain Would know the dream and vision ne'er again. --Baruch Arnegriff

It is said that in his last illness the poet Arnegriff was attended at different times by seven doctors.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Other's follies teach us not nor much their wisdom teaches; and most, of sterling worth, is what our own experience preaches
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

en Childhood, with all its mirth,
Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,
And last, Man's Life on earth,
Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.

en As you pass from the tender years of youth into harsh and embittered manhood, make sure you take with you on your journey all the human emotions!
  Nikolai Gogol

en Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.
