Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life. He that planteth a tree is a servant of God, he provideth a kindness for many generations, and faces that he haith not seen shall bless him. I thank God for the honesty and virility of Jesus religion which makes us face the facts and calls us to take a man's part in the real battle of life. In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence. Look around for a place to sow a few seeds. The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament. You never see the stock called Happiness quoted on the exchange. |
