Are these words to live by?

No man is an [i]Iland[/i]; every man is a peece of the [i]Continent[/i], a part of the [i]maine[/i]; if a [i]Clod[/i] bee washed away by the [i]Sea[/i], [i]Europe[/i] is the lesse, as well as if a [i]Promontorie[/i] were, as well as if a [i]Mannor[/i] of thy [i]friends[/i] or of [i]thine owne[/i] were; any mans [i]death[/i] diminishes [i]me[/i], because I am involved in [i]Mankinde[/i]; And therefore never send to know for whom the [i]bell[/i] tolls; it tolls for [i]thee[/i]. --John Donne
