Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
So, I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
