True Contentment.

Let us learn to be content with what we have. Let us get rid of our false estimates, set up all the higher ideals —a quiet home; vines of our own planting; a few books full of the inspiration of genius; a few friends worthy of being loved and able to love us in turn; a hundred Innocent pleasures that bring no pain or sorrow; a devotion to the right that will nevef swerve; a simple religion empty of all bigotry, full of trust and hope and love; and to such a philosophy this world will give up all the emuty joy it has.—David Swing.
