Even Happiness Itself May Become Habitual. There Is A Habit Of Looking At The Bright Side Of Things, And Also Of Looking At The Dark Side. Dr. Johnson Has Said That The Habit Of Looking At The Best Side Of A Thing Is Worth More To A Man Than A Thousand Pounds A Year.

If We Opened Our Minds To Enjoyment, We Might Find Tranquil Pleasures Spread About Us On Every Side. We Might Live With The Angels That Visit Us On Every Sunbeam, And Sit With The Fairies Who Wait On Every Flower.

Men Who Are Resolved To Find A Way For Themselves Will Always Find Opportunities Enough; And If They Do Not Find Them, They Will Make Them.
