quote from a letter written to myself in August 18518 : 

 f Long may the world be a happy one for you . . . ; but 

 you will find that happiness is a very comparative 

 article,, and will in the end consist more in what you can 

 cheerfully and gracefully give up than in what you can 

 get.' He himself gave up much that others value, but 

 few men can have done so more cheerfully, and few can 

 have lived a happier life or contributed more to the 

 happiness of those about him.
