The child in the cradle

An epigram by F. Schiller translated by J.M. Rakotolahy

The child in the cradle

 

 

Fortunate child!

An infinite space is open to you already in the cradle.

Should you become a man,

Then the infinite world will seem narrow to you!

I don't know that the words of F. Schiller could be improved upon. It seems a perfect thought to me.
