AN IDEAL LIFE
“An ideal life is one that makes you glad of life because it gives you a chance to live and to work and to play and to look ,up at the stars; to 7 be satisfied with your possessions and not content yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world but sin, and to fear nothing but God; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to cover nothing of your neighbour’s except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manner; to think seldom of your enemies, except in prayers, often of your friends, and every day of Christ.” —Henry Van Dyke.
