You go through a day of varying experiences, and everything that touches your life - the words you hear, the pictures you see, the books you read, the companions you meet and with whom you associate, the friendship that warms your heart - everything that touches you, leaves its mark on your character. And it is not a mere passing, transient impression that these things and these lives and experiences leave on your life; it is permanent work that they do. Not the great stones in the massive building are so wrought into the fabric as these impressions are wrought into the character. Our lives are temples, and every one who touches us is a builder. So it is also with the influences we throw off on other lives. They make their record there, and it is ineffaceable.
