“They are curious things, days are; like enough you may see something today that will help you along all your life; and for the matter of that, you might see plenty of things to hinder you all your life. That’s what makes such solemn business of living. Only there is one comfort: you can shut your eyes to the evil things, and say, I won’t remember one of them; I have nothing to do with them. And the good things you can mark and lay away in your mind for future use.”
