Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many
persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of
heroism.
From Desiderata
There are many ways to measure success; not the least of which is
the way your child describes you when talking to a friend.
Unknown
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will
avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and
go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs
and jumping into your lap.
(Dr.) William (J.)
Bennett
I'm not happy, I'm cheerful. There's a difference. A happy woman has
no cares at all. A cheerful woman has cares but has learned how to
deal with them.
Beverly Sills

That discipline which corrects the eagerness of worldly passions,
which fortifies the heart with virtuous principles, which enlivens
the mind with useful knowledge, and furnishes to it matter of
enjoyment from within itself, is of more consequence to real
felicity than all the provisions we can make of the goods of
fortune.
Blair
One's true happiness depends more upon one's own judgment of one's
self, on a consciousness of rectitude in action and intention, and
in the approbation of those few who judge impartially, than upon the
applause of the unthinking undiscerning multitude, who are apt to
cry Hosanna today, and tomorrow, Crucify him.
Benjamin Franklin
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I
hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of
it. If at the end your cheerfulness is not justified, at any rate
you will have been cheerful.
H.G. Wells
Give us, O give us, the man who sings at his work! Be his occupation
what it may, he is equal to any of those who follow the same pursuit
in silent sullenness. He will do more in the same time -- he will do
it better, he will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible of
fatigue whilst he marches to music.
Thomas Carlyle
