It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself.
Happiness is a how, not a what; a talent, not an object.
How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. . . . All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.
Sometimes we are required to do what others will shirk from, the action is what separates the hero from the coward.
The only boundaries to our imaginations are the ones we imagine ourselves.
What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
If a man sings of God and hears of Him,| And lets love of God sprout within him,| All his sorrows shall vanish,| And in his mind, God will bestow abiding peace.
Men do not mirror themselves in running water, they mirror themselves in still water. only what is still can still the stillness of other things.
