“The first principle of a good labor is that it must be effective, but the second principle is that it must be enjoyed. Labor is one of the largest items in the human career; it is a modest demand to ask that it may partake of happiness.” - John Crowe Ransom
I have at best 70 more years to live.
That I may enjoy my work and not dread the coming day.
That I may die satisfied in the life that I have lived in Christ.
That I may enjoy the life I have, but long for the next
That I may not rage at the dying of the light.
And go gentle into the good night.
