So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind Is all this sad world needs. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I'm no reformer; for I see more light Than darkness in the world; mine eyes are quick To catch the first dim radiance of the dawn, And slow to note the cloud that threatens storm.

You may choose your word like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart. You may work on your word a thousand weeks, But it will not glow like one That all unsought, leaps forth white hot, When the fountains of feeling run.

Cukup mudah untuk bersikap menyenangkan, kalau hidup mengalir seperti lagu,
Tapi orang yang hebat ialah yang bisa tersenyum, saat semua berantakan.
Sebab ujian bagi hati adalah kesulitan.
Dan kesulitan selalu datang setiap waktu.
Dan senyuman yang layak disanjung dunia adalah senyuman yang bersinar menembusi air mata.
