  1. A quotation from Jane Austen

       Anne smiled and said, “My idea of good company, Mr. Elliot, is a company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what a call good company.”

  6. A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    It is easy enough to be pleasant,
       When life flows by like a song,
    But the man worth while is one who will smile,
       When everything goes dead wrong.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
    Poem (1892), “Worth While,” st. 1, An Erring Woman’s Love
