Nature Intended You To Be The Fountain-spring

There Is One Statesman Of The Present Day, Of Whom I Always Say That He Would Have Escaped Making The Blunders That He Has Made If He Had Only Ridden More In Buses.

When We Consider The Incidents Of Former Days, And Perceive, While Reviewing The Long Line Of Causes, How The Most Important Events Of Our Lives Originated In The Most Trifling Circumstances; How The Beginning Of Our Greatest Happiness Or Greatest Misery Is To Be Attributed To A Delay, To An Accident, To A Mistake; We Learn A Lesson Of Profound Humility.

Do Not Shun This Maxim Because It Is Common-place. On The Contrary, Take The Closest Heed Of What Observant Men, Who Would Probably Like To Show Originality, Are Yet Constrained To Repeat. Therein Lies The Marrow Of The Wisdom Of The World.

Always Say A Kind Word If You Can, If Only That It May Come In, Perhaps, With Singular Opportuneness, Entering Some Mournful Man's Darkened Room, Like A Beautiful Firefly, Whose Happy Circumvolutions He Cannot But Watch, Forgetting His Many Troubles.
