Sayfa 46 - ... are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy ; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life ; to...
Sayfa 45 - IT is a good thing to observe Christmas day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom.
