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.

To Everything There Is A Bright Side

Lydia M. Child

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.

Neither Lemonade Nor Anything Else Can Prevent The Inroads Of Old Age. At Present, I Am Stoical Under Its Advances, And Hope I Shall Remain So. I Have But One Prayer At Heart; And That Is, To Have My Faculties So Far Preserved That I Can Be Useful, In Some Way Or Other, To The Last.
