Try to make at least one person happy every day,

and than in ten years you may have made
three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy,
or brightened a small town by your contribution
to the fund of general enjoyment.

The greatest of all mistakes
is to do nothing
because you can only do a little.
Do what you can.
Never talk for half a minute without pausing
and giving others a chance to join in.

To love and be loved is the great happiness of existence.


Sydney Smith
1771-1845, British Writer, Clergyman
