Dreams

Drearns are an escape from yourself.

They are a kind of carpet on which one steps and rides away from his wounds and his mediocrity.

And they are more. As far as you can dream, so far you can one day go; for dreams are the lovely plans of the unknown reaching towards us to be fulfilled; they are the multi-colored promise of that which can come to pass.

What is a flower but the completed vision of a quiet little seed, dreaming in the dust?

What are these terraced buildings all about us like strong hands lifted towards the sky in grave salute, but the dreams of men come true?

What are the stars, and beyond, more stars too far for us to see-all the mystery and movement of the universebut the reveries of God expressed in form?

When one no longer dreams of the beauty that could be, he has begun to die.

And Thent

there was the boy who said he didn't want tJbecome a surgeon because he couldn't stand inside work.

The most precious thing that arryone, inan or store, anybody or anything, can have is good will of others. It is something as fragile as an orchid and as beautiful, as precious as a gold nugget and as hard to find, as powerful as a great turbine and as hard to build, as wonderful as youth and as hard to keep, intangible something, this good will of others.

A PROVIDER /

"Is your husb4nd much of a provider, Malindy?" ry/

"He aint nothin' else, ma'am. He's gwine to get/ some new furniture, providin' he gets the money; he's gwine to get the money, providin' he gets to work; an' he's gwine to get to work, providin' the job suits him. I nevah see sech a providin' man in all my days."

IIow sweet and gracious, even in common speech, Is that fine sense which men call Courtesy ! Wholesome as air and genial as the light, Welcome in every clime as breath of fowers.

Many imagine that the higher you go, the easier the climbing. Don't be governed by that theory unless you have a soft place to fall back into.
