"It is not necessar)' to be great to be happy; it is not necessary to be rich to be just ancl generous, and have a heart filled rvith divine affection. No matter rvhet.her you are rich or poor, use your rvi{e as though she rvere a splendid creation, and she rvill fill 1-our life rvith perfume ar.r,1 joy. And clo you kno.rv it is a splendicl thing for me to think that the rvoman you really love rvill never grorv olrl to you. Through the music of time, through the rvrinkles of years, if you really love her, you rvill alrval's see the face you loved and rvon. Ancl a woman .n'ho really loles a man, does not see that he grorvs older; he is not decrepit, he cloes not tremble, he is not olcl. She alu'ays sees the same gallant gentleman rvho won her hand ancl heart. I like to think oi it in that way. I like to think tl-rat of all passions, love is eternal, an<l, as Shakespeare says, 'Although time rvith her sickle can rob rrrby lips ancl sparkling eyes, let him reach as far as he can, he cannot quite touch love, that reaches even to the encl of the tomb.' And to love in that way, and then go dotvn the hill of life together, ancl the birds of joy and love rn'ill sing once more in the leafless branches of age. I believe irt the fireside. I believe in the democracy of the HOME. I believe in the republicanism of the fireside. I believe in liberty and equality rvith those rve love."
