The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

For here lies the pleasure of living:In taking God's bounties, and givingThe gifts back again.

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.

Body and mind, and spirit, all combineTo make the Creature, human and divine.

No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.
