From the first time I read the following translated into the German language about 50 years ago I was deeply impressed with what John Oxenham had to say and I am still very much impressed after 50 years:

TO EVERY MAN THERE OPENETH A WAY AND WAYS AND A WAY. AND THE HIGH SOUL CLIMBS THE HIGH WAY AND THE LOW SOUL GROPES THE LOW AND IN BETWEEN ON THE MISTY FLATS THE REST DRIFT TO AND FRO. BUT TO EVERY MAN THERE OPENETH A HIGH WAY AND A LOW AND EVERY MAN DECIDETH THE WAY HIS SOUL SHALL GO.

John Oxenham
