Whether your candidate won or lost, your business is up or down or your health good or poor, the following quote  (the last lines of Self-Reliance) are worth considering today:

“A political victory, a rise of rents, the recovery of your sick or the return of your absent friend, or some other favorable event raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”                                                       Ralph Waldo Emerson
