The sum Of happiness is made up Of
a thousand details. A little kindness
done to one less fortunate gives the
heart a beat of pleasure that no MILL
merry or laces or Jewels can possibly
inspire.
To overcome prejudice is more sat
isfying than a ten-course dinner.
To subdue dificulty and smother a
selfish desire is to become strong ana
splendid. If life is worth living at all,
it is worth living in a state of progress
and improvement.
II we moan and groan, filing the air
with dissatisfaction and gloom, we can
scarcely hope to partake Of much con-
tentment.
All you need is a good thump on the
back by some cheerful soul who has
faith in you, and promise to yourself
that you will face your work and your
worries cheerfully.
