“Contentment is an asset that we take for granted until we lose it. It's the brother of happiness, the sister of peace of mind, and the mother of purpose.”

“The power of what we say is not determined by the duration of our talk but by its content. The more the mouth chatters, the further the mind scatters.”

“Happiness means different things at different times. First, we think it's about being with a special person. Then we think it's about being special. Finally we find it's about being.”

“Life is a constant flux of ups and downsA chain of happy smiles and edgy frownsJust know that the purpose of each despairIs to cherish your next peak when it's there”

“Happiness is something we can find inside once we have obtained the insight that it will never come in sight if we look for it outside.”

“Whatever we embrace will embrace us back: misery or happiness, sadness or joy, guilt or virtue, regress or progress. We are what we choose to be.”

“Peace and happiness are not outside, at home, work, or among friends. They are where they always were: inside of us, waiting to be rediscovered.”
