The most extraordinary thing about
the oyster is this. Irritations get
into its shell. It does not like them.
But when it cannot get rid of them,
it uses the irritation to do the
loveliest thing an oyster ever has
a chance to do. If there are
irritations in our lives today,
there is only one prescription:
make a pearl. It may have to be
a pearl of patience, but, anyhow,
make a pearl.
And it takes faith and love to do it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
