The Greatest Things 2/07/06
Feb 6, 2006

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.

~ Christopher Morley


The Greatest Things

The best day, today;

The best play, work;

The greatest puzzle, life;

The greatest thought, God;

The greatest mystery,death;

The best work, work you like;

The most ridiculous asset, pride;

The greatest need, common sense;

The most expensive indulgence, hate;

The most disagreeable person, the complainer;

The best teacher, the one who makes you want to learn;

The greatest deceiver, the one who deceives himself;

The worst bankrupt, the soul who has lost enthusiasm;

The cheapest, easiest, and most stupid thing to do, finding fault;

The greatest comfort, the knowledge that you have done your work well;

The most agreeable companion, the one who would not have you any different than you are;

The meanest feeling, being envious of another's success;

The greatest thing in the world, love - for family, home, friends, neighbors.

Simple Things Simple things are lovely things. Rain, dropping from the eaves, Is molten silver streaming down, Upon the fallen leaves. The thick, gray mantle of the fog, Hides everything from view. Footsteps make a hollow sound, When they're unseen by...
