Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
-Bertrand Russell
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
-Henry A. Kissinger
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
Scholars who incessantly contemplate on acquiring strength and knowledge should also consider it their moral duty to impart knowledge to the ignorant, so that they can develop their mental faculties. This would automatically lead to the latter’s self-development and spiritual progress.
In youth, the days are short and the years are long; in old age the years are short and the days are long.
-Nikita Ivanovich Panin
Make up is generally there to make you look better, not make you look like you're wearing make up.
-Hadley Freeman
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
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
-Thomas Jefferson
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
-Jesus Christ
