     The unthankful heart – discovers no mercies; 
     but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet

To 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; to be satisfied with your posessions, but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, [...]
