“Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of Eternity.
So the little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue
Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy,
Like the Heaven above.”

“Life is like a maze of doors and then all open on the side you're on.

life that you lead, friend; no doubt the best in the world, if only you are
strong enough to lead it!”
