I salute you. There is nothing I can give you which you have not; but
there is much, that, while I cannot give, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take Heaven.
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take Peace.
The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet, within our
reach, is joy.
Take Joy.
And so I greet you, with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the
day breaks, and the shadows flee away.
