May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness let us not forget it, for one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have.

So fleet the works of men, back to their earth again;Ancient and holy things fade like a dream.

Charles Kingsley
