[Quote No.16929] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[Poem:]
It is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows by like a song.
But a man worthwhile is the one who can smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth,
Is the smile that shines through tears.
" - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
(1850 - 1919) American poet.
