The best gifts are not those we buy, wrap in colored paper and adorn with tinsel, but those we give from the treasures of our hearts and wrap in the intangibles of grace and goodwill:

To little children -- Smiles of encouragement and words of cheer as they step, a little bewilderingly, into the first experiences of life;

To youth -- A helping hand in their quest for good romance and adventure, without which youth cannot live;

To old age -- Some opportunity for dreaming dreams;

To life and the things of life -- Some measure of devotion which will enliven the common ways and ennoble the common tasks;

And to posterity -- The legacy of a good name and good work well done!
