| Ella Wheeler Wilcox
'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results. All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros. Give us that grand word woman once again, and let's have done with lady; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys. The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind. There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day! With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see. |
