"Be
happy. Talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive
gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the
world without yours.... never doubt the excellence
and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great
company of those who make the barren places of life
fruitful with kindness.... Your success and happiness
lie in you.... The great enduring realities are love
and service.... Resolve to keep happy and your joy
and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
-- Helen
Keller |
None of
those material possessions do anything to make your life any better.... I know
a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most
miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a
happy person and can have peace with yourself.
-- Lenny
Kravitz |  |

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told
me that happiness was the key to life. When I
went to school, they asked me what I wanted to
be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They
told me I didn't understand the assignment and
I told them they didn't understand life."
-- John
Lennon

will be little the better for anything else.

Locke |
