A Hundred Virtues


Hanging the Washing ~ Helen Allingham

Thank God every day when you get up
that you have something to do that day
which must be done whether you like it or not.
Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you
temperance and self-control,
diligence and strength of will,
cheerfulness and content,
and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.

~ Basil Carpenter
