404. Be Happy--Here and Now!

The grave is not a throne, and a corpse is not a king. The living have

a right to control this world. I think a good deal more of to day than

I do of yesterday, and I think more of to-morrow than I do of this day;

because it is nearly gone--that is the way I feel. The time to be happy

is now; the way to be happy is to make somebody else happy and the place

to be happy is here.
