Daily Cheer for All the YearCast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.—ECCL. xi, 1.
Gold and silver, like the sands,
Will keep slipping through our hands;
Jewels, gleaming like a spark,
Will be hidden in the dark;
Sun and moon and stars may pale,
But these words will never fail:
"Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last."
Baptist Weekly.
The most delicate and the most sensible of all pleasures consists in promoting the pleasures of others.
LA BRUYÈRE.
Happiness is not perfected until it is shared.
JANE PORTER.
Mankind is always happier for having been happy; so that if you make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.
SIDNEY SMITH.
