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 possessions, but not contented
with yourself until you have made
the best of them...to think seldom
of your enemies, often of your friends,
and every day of Christ; and to spend
as much time as you can, with body
and with spirit in God's out-of-doors- these
are little guideposts on the footpath to peace.
- Henry Van Dyke
