Three grand essentials to happiness in life are ; something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.......

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do..........

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.......

In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness, otherwise how would you know when you're happy....?

Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response......

The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash.......

Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.......

Most of us believe in trying to make other people happy only if they can be happy in ways which we approve........

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase:  if you pursue happiness you'll never find it........

There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for............

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived......

Love rules his kingdom without a sword.............

To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.......

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting..........

There is much satisfaction in work well done, but there can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands......

We are each of us angels with only one wing. And we can only fly while embracing each other..........

We create an environment where it is alright to hate, to steal, to cheat, and to lie if we dress it up with symbols of respectability, dignity and love...........

The big thieves hang the little ones...

To sin is a human business, to justify sins is a devilish business......

It's amazing how people can get so excited about a rocket to the moon and not give a damn about smog, oil leaks, the devastation of the environment with pesticides, hunger, disease...........

We have to realize that we are as deeply afraid to live and to love as we are to die..........

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else........

A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.........

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration........

Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love...........

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it......

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it........

To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him...........

You can't force anyone to love you or lend you money.........

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem..............

Paradise is always where love dwells......

The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.........

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life...........

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us........

Love is the only kind of fire which is never covered by insurance..........

Love is not blind, it sees but it doesn't mind..........

Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.......

Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.........

The waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence that will risk nothing and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as wel......

Love does not just sit there, like a stone; it had to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.....

Love is the last relay and ultimate outposts of eternity.......

Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons........

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes............

If you've loved one woman, you've loved them all…if you've loved many women, you've loved none...............

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop...........

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.............

Myths which are believed intend to become true................

Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind................

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the window which hope has opened........

Man is what he believes.............

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.................

A winged heart will free a mind imprisoned soul........

Plant an habit and you will reap a character.........

A half truth is the worst of all lies,because it can be defended in partiality........

One is as healthy as the lies one tells...........
