Quotations
Happiness
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
-Maurice Maeterlinck "Maurice Maeterlinck"
Don't put off happiness you can have today. Tomorrow is a hope, not a promise.

-William J. Bennett
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
