ty ofyoungsters who he knows Tottenham Hotspur Dame Fodboldtrøjer cannot contradict him. It is odd if, afterawhile, he doesn't swear that the moon shone every night when he was aboy, and that tossing mad bulls in a blanket was the favorite sport athis school.
It always has been and always will be the same. The old folk of ourgrandfathers' young days sang a song bearing exactly the same burden;and the young folk of to-day will drone out precisely similar nonsensefor the aggravation of the next generation. "Oh, give me back thegood old days of Chance Myers Jersey fifty Sergio Escudero Jersey years ago," has been the cry ever since Adam'sfifty-first birthday. Take Canada Goose Mountaineer Jackor up the literature of 1835, and you willfind the poets and novelists asking for the same impossible gift asdid the German Minnesingers long Bayern Munchen Pelipaita before them and the old Norse Sagawriters long before that. And for the same thing sighed the earlyprophets and the philosophers of ancient Greece. From all accounts,the world has been getting worse and worse ever since it was created.
All I can say is that it must have been a remarkably delightful placewhen it was first opened to the public, for it is very pleasant evennow if you only keep as much as possible in the sunshine and take therain good-temperedly.
Yet there is no gainsaying but that it must have been somewhat sweeterin that dewy morning of creation, when it was young and fresh, whenthe feet of the tramping millions had not trodden its grass to dust,nor the din of the myriad cities chased the silence forever away.
Life must have been noble and solemn to those free-footed, loose-robedfathers of the human race, walking hand in hand with God under thegreat sky. They lived in sunkissed tents amid the lowing herds. Theytook their simple wants from the loving Rodrigo Ely Jersey hand of Nature. They toiledand talked and thought; and the great earth rolled around instillness, not yet laden with trouble and wrong.
Those days are past now. The quiet childhood of Humanity, spent inthe far-off forest glades and by the murmuring rivers, is Paris Saint-Germain Fodboldtrøjer goneforever; and human life is deepening Victor Ibarbo Jersey down to manhood amid tumult,doubt, and hope. Its age of restful Thomas Muller Pelipaidat peace is past. It has its workto finish Liverpool Børn Fodboldtrøjer and must hasten on. What that work Tommy Redding Jersey may be--what thisworld's share is in the great design--we know not, though ourunconscious hands are helping to accomplish it. Like the tiny coralinsect working deep under the dark waters, we strive and struggle eachfor our own little ends, nor dream of Meksiko the vast fabric we are buildingup for God.
Let us have done with vain regrets and longings for the days thatnever will be ours again. Our work lies in front, not behind us; and"Forward!" is our motto. Let us not sit with folded hands, gazingupon the past as if it were the building; it is but the foundation.
Let us not waste heart and life thinking of what might have been andforgetting the may be that lies before us. Opportunities flit bywhile we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happinessthat comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone.
