Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.
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

Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
