Quite the ugliest face I ever saw was that of a woman whom the world called beautiful. Through its silver veil the evil and ungentle passions looked out, hideous and hateful. On the other hand, there are faces which the multitude, at first glance, pronounce homely, unattractive and such as "Nature fashions by the gross," which I always recognize with a warm heart-thrill. Not for the world would I have one feature changed; they please me as they are; they are hallowed by kind memories, and are beautiful through their associations.

A charmed life old goodness hath; the tares may perish, but the grain is not for death.

No longer forward or behind I look in hope or fear, But grateful, take the good I find, The best of now and here.

Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood, To one fixed trust my spirit clings; I know that God is good!

Leaning on Him, make with reverent meekness His own thy will.

Rest if you must, but never quit.

As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth.
