Adventure is not outside a man; it is within.
Commandment Number One of any truly civilized society is this: Let people be different. Friendship is neither a formality nor a mode: it is rather a life.Goodness is uneventful. It does not flash, it glows.Happiness... she loves, to see men at work. She loves sweat, weariness, self sacrifice. She will be found not in places but lurking in cornfields and factories; and hovering over littered desks; she crowns the unconscious head of the busy child.I believe it would be difficult to find an adult human being who hasn't a saying or two, or more, that he is saving because it expresses something vital.
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays--let them overtake me unexpectedly--waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: Why this is Christmas Day!Life is too brief. I had a friend whom I intended to know better. Yesterday he died.Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.Talk of joy: there may be things better than beef stew and baked potatoes and home-made bread -- there may be.We are, all of us, calling and calling across the
incalculable gulfs which separate us even from
our nearest friends.
We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring. |
