Deutsche Übersetzung

Oh mein Gott, wie muss eine Seele sein, wenn sie sich in diesem Zustand befindet! Es sehnt sich danach, alle eine Zunge zu sein, um den Herrn zu preisen. Es gibt tausend fromme Torheiten, in einem ständigen Bemühen, dem zu gefallen, der es so besitzt.

Cynicism is tough. A cynic's point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I'm fairly healthy, it's hard to stay dismal for very long.
