From The Fairy Tale of My Life, published in 1855
My life is a lovely story, happy and full of adventures. If, at the time when I was still a boy and going out into the world poor and without friends, a good fairy had come along and said, ”Choose your course in life and the goal of your efforts…I will guide and protect you until you attain it, ” my destiny could not, even at that time, have been guided more happily, more prudently, or more fortunately. The history of my life will reveal to the world what it tells me – there is a loving God who directs all things for the best.
