I wish you courage to be warm when the world would prefer that you be cool. 
I wish you success sufficient to your needs;
I wish you failure to temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your days;
I wish you sadness so that you may better measure joy.
I wish you gladness to over balance your grief.
I wish you humor and a twinkle in your eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path and health to carry you on your journey.
I wish you peace—in the world in which you live and the smallest corner of your heart where truth is kept
I wish you faith--to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you-except perhaps love—to make the rest worthwhile.
