Thoughts I Met on the Highway by Ralph Waldo Trine
page 3 of 27 (11%)

Reap the daisies in the dew
Singin' all together!
Springtime sweet, an' frosty fall
Happy be the weather!
Earth has gardens for us all,
Goin' on together.

Sweet the labor in the light,
To the harvest's gold and white--
Till the toilers say "Good night,"
Singin' all together!

There is no quality that exerts more good, is of greater service to all
mankind during the course of the ordinary life, than the mind and the
heart that goes out in an all-embracing love for all, that is the
generator and the circulator of a genuine, hearty, wholesome sympathy
and courage and good cheer, that is not disturbed or upset by the
passing occurrence little or great, but that is serene, tranquil, and
conquering to the end, that is looking for the best, that is finding the
best, and that is inspiring the best in all. There is moreover, no
quality that when genuine brings such rich returns to its possessor by
virtue of the thoughts and the feelings that it inspires and calls forth
from others and that come back laden with their peaceful, stimulating,
healthful influences for you.
