I feel that the peace is growing,
As a river grows deep and broad.
“All I need without price I am buying
By my trust in the Goodness above.
There’s an end to my yearning and sighing,
For just like a child I am lying
On the bosom of Infinite Love.”
The optimist, by his superior wisdom and insight, is making his own heaven, and in the degree that he makes his own heaven, is he helping to make one for all the world beside.
—R. W. Trine.
Do not let your head run upon that which is none of your own, but pick out some of the best of your circumstances, and consider how eagerly you would wish for them, were they not in your possession.
