An allen Früchten unbedenklich lecken; vor Gott und Teufel nie die Waffen strecken; Künftiges mißachten, Früheres nicht bereuen; den Augenblick nicht deuten und nicht scheuen; dem Leben zuschaun; andrer Glück nicht neiden; stets Spielkind sein, neugierig noch im Leiden; am eigenen Schicksal unbeteiligt sein - das heißt genießen und geheiligt sein.

Enjoy all the harmless fruits of life; Never take up weapons against God or the Devil; Disdain coming things, regret not what came before; Don't bother interpreting the moment nor shrink from it; Keep an eye on life; envy not another's fortune; Remain playful, curious even in sorrow; On one's own fate be detached -- Which means to enjoy it and be blessed.
