No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.--John Greenleaf Whittier




"O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!"
[William Shakespeare]



The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. ~Oscar Wilde



How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
~William Shakespeare
