Joseph Haydn, the great composer, was once talking with two of his friends on the subject of sorrow and depression, and one said, "When I feel down, when I feel gloomy, I take to my wine; that cheers me up."

The other said, "When I am gloomy and sad, I take to my music."

Haydn said, "When I am gloomy and sad, I take to praying. I go apart and have a season with God, and that gives me good cheer."
