THE HEART’S DESIRE
THE MEANING OF LIFE
I have lived, then, done and suffered
loved and hated, learnt and taught This—there is no reconciling wisdom with u world distraught, Goodness with triumphant evil, power with failure in the aim. If—(l.o own my sense*, remember! though none other feel the same!)- — If you bar me from assuming earth to he a pupil’s place, v And life, time, —with all their chances, changes,—just probation-space, Mine, for me.
—R. Browning
Friendship is made up of esteem and (pleasure; pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once. Oliver Goldsmith.
Blessed are the hands that prepare a pleasure for a child.
The aids to noble life are all within. —Matthew Arnold
