Worthwhile living is not in being happy,

But making others happy.

Not getting,

But giving.

Not in being fortunate,

But in being brave and cheery in misfortune.

Not in knowing,

But in doing.

Not in winning,

But in losing with a smile.

Not in living a long time,

But in living to some purpose.

Not in receiving honors,

But in deserving them.

Not in enjoying yourself,

But in sympathizing with others.

Not in pleasing man,

But in pleasing God.
