 All the windows of my heart I open to the day.

 And a nameless longing filled her breast, - A wish, that she hardly dared to own, For something better than she had known

 Falsehoods which we spurn today, were the truths of long ago

 For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.

 For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.

 From the death of the old the new proceeds, and the life of truth from the death of creeds.

 Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.

 It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.

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

 One brave deed makes no hero.

 Somehow, not only for Christmas but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing Returns to you glad.

 A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership. The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.

 The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.

 The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'

 The smile of God is victory.
