To think and to feel constitute the two grand divisions of men and
genius--the men of reasoning and the men of imagination.
--Disraeli.
Grow old along with me! the best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand who saith, a whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!
--Robert Browning.
But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth
more and more unto the perfect day.
--Proverbs 4. 18.
Almighty God, I pray that I may have the grace to penetrate the deep
things of life and test their truth and greatness. May I have faith in
thy power and train for the best which thou hast made possible for me
to live. Help me to think and feel aright, that I may be thine to-day,
and in the days of to-morrow may I still be thine, ever keeping bright
memories of past days. Amen.
