In a world worth looking at twice.
So here's wishing you many more years,
But not all that many. Cheers!”

But as ineffable as nature is in the effect of natural beauty on the mind, it cannot match the peace of God in its healing effect on the human mind. <!-- p. 180

Who stands in his pride alone!
