Would you like to hear my favorite quotation from Scripture?
gpt
My favorite quotation is this: 'Take no thought for the morrow.' Perhaps it ends in a way that spoils it; I would never read the rest of it, fearing it would ruin itself, but taking just so much and no more--and it certainly is your privilege to do that if you wish--if all of a thing is good for you, part of it must be somewhat good--it does make the most comfortable philosophy of life I know of. It's a great solace to me. Now when I am seventy, I don't doubt I will have lost my teeth. Losing one's teeth is such a distressing thing that I could sit here and weep bitterly for mine were it not for the sustaining power of my favorite quotation. Why don't you adopt it for your favorite, too? And, taking no thought for the morrow, is there any reason in the world why you shouldn't go out now and have a beautiful drive? Going for a drive doesn't commit one to any philosophy of life, or line of action, does it? And whatever you do, don't ever refuse nice things because you can't see the reason for people's doing them. I shudder to think how much--or better, how little fun I would have had in life had I first been compelled to satisfy myself I was entitled to it. We're entitled to nothing--most of us; that's all the more reason for taking all we can get. But come now! Here are some fresh things--yours seem a bit dusty.

Were I as proud of all my works as I am of this, I might be a more self-respecting person,
