"Although
the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming
of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil,
but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing
effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
I try to increase the power God has given me to see the best
in everything and every one, and make that Best a part of my
life."
