Edgar Guest Quotes

The joy of life is living it, or so it seems to me;In finding shackles on your wrists, then struggling till you're free;In seeing wrongs and righting them, in dreaming splendid dreams,Then toiling till the vision is as real as moving streams.The happiest mortal on the earth is he who ends his dayBy leaving better than he found to bloom along the way.
