MELBO ON HAPPINESS
"Where is happiness? It is to be found in the world about us, in the stillness of a summer night, in the pride of a good thing done, in the flush of a summer dawn, the following of an ideal, the strong grip of a friend, the perfect heart of a rose, or the wild sweetness of a song. It is always very near. You may come upon it at the very next turn of the road. The secret of finding? I cannot tell you. I know that f ame alone does not' bring it, and I know that it is within the reach of all, young or old, rich or poor, celebrated or unknown." Only have courage and cohviction, tenacity and kindliness, a ready smile and a willing hand for one less f ortunate in the xa'ce: Partly it is in doing your job well, with all your ability, and in refusing to despair, and' going half way to the next turn of "the 'road yourself. Often 'it comes trippihg' more than halfway to meet you." — The late i)ame' Nellje Melba.
