"You had the greatest gift of all conferred upon you - the gift of life, of being a part of this world & taking apart in it. Yet, you denied that gift."
'The Greatest Gift' written by Philip Van Doren Stern - first a card and then the inspiration of the movie, 'It's a Wonderful Life'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[George has discovered his brother Harry's tombstone] Clarence: [explaining] Your brother, Harry Bailey, broke through the ice and was drowned at the age of nine.
George Bailey: That's a lie! Harry Bailey went to war - he got the Congressional Medal of Honor, he saved the lives of every man on that transport.
Clarence: Every man on that transport died! Harry wasn't there to save them, because you weren't there to save Harry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clarence: You've been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world would be like without you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clarence: You see George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clarence: Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry Bailey: A toast to my big brother George: The richest man in town.
