Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing. And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?) (
You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life

The world today is absolutely cracked.
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like chinese, I like chinese,
They only come up to you knees,
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please.
I like chinese, I like chinese,
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today,
You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say.
I like chinese, I like chinese,
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute, and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.
I like chinese food,
The waiters never are rude,
Think the many things they've done to impress,
There's maoism, taoism, I-ching and chess.
I like chinese, I like chinese, I like their tiny little trees,
Their zen, their ping-pong, their ying and yang-eze.
I like chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucius taught,
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The chinese will survive us all without any doubt.
So, I like chinese, I like chinese,
They only come up to you knees,
Yet they're wise, and they're witty, and they're ready to please
Wo ai Zhong-guo ren [Wo, I chumba run]
Wo ai Zhong-guo ren Wo ai Zhong-guo ren Ni Hao Ma?
Ni Hao Ma? Ni Hao Ma? Zai zhen [Ne hamma? ... Chi Chen]
I like chinese, I like chinese,
They're food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lichese
I like chinese, I like chinese,
I like their tiny little trees,
Their zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-eze
I like chinese, I like chinese,

Der römische Ruhmesgedanke



Die boni, die Vorkämpfer der republikanischen Traditionen sind durchaus noch Leute des praktischen Lebens. Eine gründlichere Umwertung des Ruhmesgedankens bringt die Einwirkung der griechischen Gedankengänge mit sich, die wir am sichersten zuerst in Ciceros philosophischen Schriften greifen können. Bestimmend für die Bewertung des Ruhmes bei den griechischen Philosophen der nachklassischen Zeit ist es, dass nicht ein praktisches Ideal verfolgt wird, wie in Rom, sondern ein theoretisches: So wird konsequenterweise die Frage, ob Tugend oder Geltung wertvoller sei, radikal zugunsten der Tugend entschieden. "Höheren Wert als der Ruhm hat die moralische Tugend" verkündet Cicero in seinem Alter, und die gleiche Haltung geht dann durch die Schriften des Seneca durch. Die Entwicklung tendiert dahin, die boni, welche ein richtiges Urteil über die Dinge haben, die den Staat unmittelbar angehn, gleichzusetzen mit den Philosophen. Zweifellos mit einigem Schein des Rechtes: Denn die Evolution wird offenbar dadurch unterstützt, dass unter dem Prinzipat die Republikaner zunächst aus der praktischen Politik ausgeschaltet werden. Nun ist es aber bekannt, dass mit geringfügigen Unterbrechungen bis zur Zeit des Nerva die republikanische Opposition in engstem Connex mit der stoischen Opposition stand, ja dass beide zusammen recht eigentlich eine völlige Einheit darstellen. Es ist demnach leicht verständlich, dass -- wie es scheint, bereits unter Tiberius -- die Identifikation der boni mit den Philosophen vollzogen wird. Jedenfalls konnte Valerius Maximus auf den Beifall seiner Leser rechnen, wenn er schrieb: Zum allerherrlichsten Glanz des Ruhmes erhob sich Sokrates.
