“To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness.”

“Perhaps the greatest illusion a writer ever creates is that his work is achieved without great effort or sacrifice. ”

“The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.”

“Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.Linus Pauling”

“The event of falling in love is of such a nature that we are right to reject as intolerable the idea that it should be transitory. In one high bound it has overleaped the massive of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being. Spontaneously and without effort we have fulfilled the law (towards one person) by loving our neighbour as ourselves. It is an image, a foretaste, of what we must become to all if Love Himself rules in us without a rival. It is even (well used) a preparation for that.”

“Happiness is a direct consequence of personal effort.”
