--_Vivian Yeiser Laramore_.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon
as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well and serenely, and
with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This
day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and
invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.--_Emerson_.
_Life Is No Problem_
Life is no problem to the heart
That understands itself,
That does not sit above, apart
Upon some higher shelf.
And moralize on destiny
And other things obscure,
But has no more philosophy
Than changeless love and pure.
Life is no problem to the mind
That knows the way to live
The habit just of being kind,
The joy of just to give.
Life is no mystery at all
To those who do not doubt
But take this life as life befall
And smile and live it out.
Do not with theories concern
Yourself as on you go;
There is but little we can learn,
But little we can know.
Life is to live, to take the sweet
The hidden fates have sent,
To live each day the day you meet
And try to be content.
