It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles to-day To-morrow will be dying.

It is the end that crowns us, not the fight.

To get thine ends, lays bashfulness aside; Who fears to ask, doth teach to be deny'd.

A sweet disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness.

'Tis sweet to think on what was hard t'endure.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.

'Tis sweet to think on what was hard t' endure.

Temptations hurt not, though they have access; Satan o'ercomes none but by willingness.

Those Saints, which God loves best, The Devil tempts not least.
