We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

Additional quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.
