Quote by Pedro Calderon de la Barca

But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.

But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of doing good regardless of the reality of the situation. Whether our actions align with reality or not, it is essential to prioritize doing well. If our actions are based on truth, then it should be done purely for the sake of truth. However, if our actions are based on a dream or illusion, then it becomes crucial to do good in order to cultivate meaningful relationships that will endure when we finally awaken from the fantasy.
