The Rarest Attainment Is To Grow Old

To Everything There Is A Bright Side And A Dark Side; And I Hold It To Be Unwise, Unphilosophic, Unkind To Others, And Unhealthy For One's Own Soul, To Form The Habit Of Looking On The Dark Side. Cheerfulness Is To The Spiritual Atmosphere What Sunshine Is To The Earthly Landscape. I Am Resolved To Cherish Cheerfulness With Might And Main.

So Easy It Is To See The Errors Of Past Ages, So Difficult To Acknowledge Our Own!

Home - That Blessed Word, Which Opens To The Human Heart The Most Perfect Glimpse Of Heaven, And Helps To Carry It Thither, As On An Angel's Wings.

The Excess Of All Good Things Is Mischievous.

The Rarest Attainment Is To Grow Old Happily And Gracefully.
