"War knows no power. Safe shall be my going, Secretly armed against all death's endeavour; Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall; And if these poor limbs die, safest of all."

In other words, whenever we are appreciative, we are filled with a sense of well-being and swept up by the feeling of joy.”
