Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.

I do not know the meaning of the darkness, but I have learned the overcoming of it.
