BLESSINGS - I am a confirmed believer in 'blessings in disguise'. I prefer them undisguised when I happen to be the person blessed. But the theory that blessings in disguise are constantly happening to other people I find consoling. It enables me to bear their troubles without feeling miserable.
CHARACTER - The most authentic witnesses of our character are those who know us in our family and see us without any restraint or rule but such as we voluntarily prescribe for ourselves.
CHILDREN - God has sent children to enlarge our hearts and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affections rather than merely to keep up the race. - Children assist us in more ways than one: to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties: to extended enterprise and exertion; and to sing round our firesides - bright faces, happy smiles and loving tender hearts.
CONTENTMENT - The fountain of contentment must spring up in the mind, and he who has so little knowledge of human nature as to see happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief's which he proposes to remove.
