I will love. I will love the failures for they...

I will love.

I will love the failures for they can teach me.

I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me.

I will love all manners of men because each has qualities to be admired even though they may be hidden.

I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.

I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine.

I will love the rich for they are yet lonely; I will love the poor for they are so many.

I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share.

Laugh at the world.

Laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound.

Laugh at your failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams.

Laugh at your successes and they will shrink to their true value.

Laugh at yourself because it is more comical when one takes himself too seriously.

Laugh and your life will be lengthened - for this is the secret of lifelong fulfillment.

Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I will share it and it will grow upon others.

Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages.

Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with thought.

Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh, rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation.

Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad.
