If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done
   And counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard ~
   One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went
Then you may count that day well spent.

~ Mary Ann Evans, pen name: George Eliot  (1819 - 1889) English novelist.

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (18-3 - 1882)  American essayist, poet.


~ To See a World in a Grain of Sand, Caesar Johnson, C. R. Gibson Company.
