Thoughts on Life/Happiness
HAPPINESS.
HAPPINESS.
1. The happiest earthly life is that modelled after the heavenly plan.
2. Happiness will not bear pursuit, but often will she turn and seek us when we cease our quest of her.
3. In bestowing the blessed coin of happiness upon others, thou wilt often find thine own coffers overflowing with it as well.
4. Thou wilt find a busy day hath usually been a happy one also.
5. Make it thy constant aim to give, rather than to get, happiness.
6. Though great joys may not have fallen to thy lot in life, yet mayest thou ever rejoice in the joy of others.
7. Exult in the sun light while thou mayest. It will not always shine for thee, and God wills thou shouldst have thy pleasures and rejoicings as well as thy wholesome disciplines in life.
8. Keep thy desires moderate, thy soul pure, thy heart true and loving, thy whole life single-eyed to duty, and thou wilt scarcely fail to be happy.
9. Happiness can ever fill the place of wealth; but wealth, that of happiness, neveг.
10. Let thy smile brighten life for those around thee; it is a blessed radiance which happiness doth impart.
11. To a great extent our happiness is in the hands of others. God hath made us thus dependent upon one another for much of the daily beauty of our lives.
