The world is not a playground it is a school room. Life is not a holiday but an education, And the one eternal lesson for us all is how better we can live.
There is only one thing greater than happiness in the world and that is holiness and it is not in our keeping but what God has put in our power is the happiness of those about us and that is largely to be secured by our being kind to them.
Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, guilelessness, sincerity these make up the supreme gift the stature of a perfect man.
The condition of growth then and the inward principle of growth being both supplied by nature, the thing man has to do the little function left for him to complete is to apply the one to the other. He manufactures nothing he earns nothing his one duty is to be in these conditions to abide in them to allow grace to play over him to be still and know that this is God.
No one can get Joy by merely asking for it. It is one of the ripest fruits of life and like all fruits must be grown.
