The Art of Happiness.
From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax, to be peaceful,
we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness,
when we walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend, and enjoy
being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth.
Thich Nhat Hanh
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful,
to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference
that you have lived and lived well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pleasure is the object, duty and the goal of all rational creatures.
Voltaire
You see the Earth as a bright blue and white Christmas tree
ornament in the black sky. It's so small and so fragile - you
realize that on that small spot is everything that means everything
to you; all of history and art and death and birth and love.
Russell Schweikart, astronaut
To have no set purpose in one's life is the harlotry of the
will.
Stephen MacKenna
We all possess the thunder of pure fury and the calm breeze
of tranquility. If it wasn't for tomorrow, how much would we
get done today? Whatever your purpose... embrace it completely.
Get lost in the clouds every now and then so you never lose
sight of God's wonder.
Paul Vitale
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.
Washington Irving
I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark
should burn out in a brillant blaze than it should be stifled
by dry-rot; I would rather be in a superb meteor, every atom
of me in magnificent glow than in a sleepy and permanent planet;
the proper function of man is to live, not to exist; I shall
not waste my days in trying to prolong them; I shall USE my
time.
Jack London
To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life.
Alan Coren
The Sanity Inspector.
How to gain, how to keep, and how to recover happiness is in
fact for most men at all times the secret motive for all they
do.
William James
In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still,
In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot,
I do not dare to draw a line
Between the two, where God has not.
Joaquin Miller
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Emily Dickinson
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced; live your
life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Cherokee Saying
The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which
is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long
run.
Henry David Thoreau
Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected.
Sophocles
You are a child of the Universe, no less than the moon and the
stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is
clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.
Max Ehrmann
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know:
the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who
have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live.
Joan Borysenko
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
George Elliot
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we
can not put our heart.
John Ruskin
Life is a promise; fulfill it.

An age is called Dark, not because the light fails to shine,
but because people refuse to see it.
James Michener
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Richard Leider
If you can not find the truth right where you are, where else
do you expect to find it? Dogen Belief consists in accepting
the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, denying them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I have done my best." That is about all the philosophy
of living one needs.

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things,
literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with
rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget
yourself.

You are what your deep driving desire is; As your deep driving
desire is, so is your will; As your will is so is your deed;
As your deed is so is your destiny.

great.

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good
deed in a weary world.

the universe.
