When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. A picture is a poem without words. - Horace In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French; I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language. Even if we can't be happy we must always be cheerful. It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time. If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.
