I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
