The Best Things in Life

He who is satisfied with himself and with his attainments is not living worthily. A wholesome life ever sees better things yet to be reached. It is true, as Browning says,

When the fight begins within himself,
A man’s worth something.

Being good is not enough; striving to be better is not the loftiest aim. Nothing less than the best should ever satisfy an immortal being.

J.R.M.
