"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
- Buddha -

And then happiness sort of sneaks in the back window while they're busy doing good."
- Rabbi Harold Kushner -

- M. Scott Peck -

"The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one's self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience. It cannot be bought; indeed money, strange as it may seem, has very little to do with it. People are not happy unless they are reasonably well satisfied with themselves."
- William D. Ogden -
"
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. 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. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."
- Henry Miller -
