May we look around us with pleasure,
And above us with gratitude.

GRATITUDE.
Nought so becomes a man as gratitude
For good received; Noble deeds are still
The offspring of benevolence, whilst he
With whom remembrance dies of blessings past
Is vile and worthless.
—Sophocles, born 496, B. C.

It is much better to make presents in articles than in money, because gratitude for the latter is spent as soon as that is.
—Jean Paul Richter.
