by Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)

A New Year's Resolution
Language: English 
Incline us Oh God! To think humbly of ourselves, 
to consider our fellow creatures with kindness, 
and to judge all they say and do with charity. 
Give us a thankful sense of the blessings in which we live, 
of the many comforts of our lot; 
that we may not lose them by discontent or indifference.
Amen.
