"Man'is abiding happiness
is not in getting anything but in giving himself
up to what is greater than himself,
to ideas which are larger than his individual life,
the idea of his country,
of humanity, of
GOD."
"I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy."
