Found this on a high school pal’s favorite quotes, though she said it wasn’t the name that follows. Will double check. I think it is perfect!
When is a person educated?
When he can look out upon the universe, now lucid and lovely, now dark and terrible, with a sense of his own littleness in the great scheme of things, and yet have faith and courage. When he knows how to make friends and keep them, and above all, when he can keep friends with himself. When he can be happy alone and high-minded amid the drudgeries of life. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something besides mud, and into the face of the most forlorn mortal and see something divine. When he knows how to live, how to love, how to hope, how to pray–is glad to live…and has in his heart a bit of a song. Joseph Fort Newton
Happy 24th to my oldest nephew David!
It’s a beautiful quote!
That is a great quote and so true.
BTW thanks for the tablescaping link. I looked it over briefly last night and will go back later.
