| BE HAPPY - BE BETTER! |
All hearts grow warmer in the presence of one who,
seeking not his own,
Gave freely for the love of giving,
Nor reaping for self the harvest sown.
Thy greeting smile was pledge and prelude
Of generous deeds and kindly words;
In thy large heart were fair guest-chambers,
Open to sunrise and the birds.
John Greenleaf Whittier
It is our daily duty to consider that in all circumstances
of life, pleasurable, painful, or otherwise, the conduct
of every human being affects, more or less, the happiness
of others, especially of those in the same house; and
that, as life is made up, for the most part, not of great
occasions, but of small everyday moments, it is the
giving to those moments their greatest amount of peace,
pleasantness, and security, that contributes most to the
sum of human good. Be peaceful. Be cheerful. Be true.
–Leigh Hunt.
