No man is an island, entire of itself;  

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.  

If a clod be washed away by the sea,  

Europe is the less,

as well as if a promontory were,  

as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were:  

any man's death diminishes me,

because I am involved in mankind,  

and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls;

it tolls for thee.
