Adding to Human Happiness

By John Newton

I SEE in this world two heaps—one of human happiness and one of misery; now if I can take but the smallest bit from the second heap, and add it to the first, I carry a point. If, as I go home, a child has dropped a half-penny, and by giving it another I can wipe away its tears, I feel that I have done something.—John Newton.
