If others could tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and perfection, they must tell you to make a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for every that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing . . .
All things change when you measure them. You might as well sing, the sound of your voice joining the others, like water overflowing, the name of the living God.
