And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.
Be cheerful . Strive to be happy.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
