THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR
There is hardly in the range of
English literature a finer thought
than this paragraph from Charles
Kingsley:
“Thank God every morning
when you get up that you have
something to do that day which
must be done, whether you like it
or not. Being forced to work, and
forced to do your best, will breed
in you temperance and self-con
t;ol,diligence and strength of will,
cheerfulness and content, and a
hundred virtues which the idle
never know.”
