The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his
opportunity when it comes. --Disraeli.
One sees, and the other does not see; one enjoys
an unspeakable pleasure, and the other loses that
pleasure which is as free to him as the air....
The whole outward world is the kingdom of the
observant eye. He who enters into any part of
that kingdom to possess it has a store of pure enjoyment
in life which is literally inexhaustible and
immeasurable. His eyes alone will give him a life
worth living.
--Charles W. Eliot.
Having eyes, see ye not?
--Mark 8. 18.
My Father, help me to realize that I cannot feel the joy that breathes
through the early morning unless I am with it. May I see distinctly
the glory of to-day. Help me to be watchful and keep my spirit awake,
that I may receive thy revelations. Amen.
