There's no use doing a kindness if you do it a day too late. There are two freedoms; The false, where man is free to do what he likes; The true, where man is free to do what he ought. The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again. A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults. |
