“True joy is to take pleasurein one's own accomplishments....”

“Art is an expression of joy and awe. It is not an attempt to share one's virtues and accomplishments with the audience, but an act of selfless spirit.”

“Do not ask your childrento strive for extraordinary lives.Such striving may seem admirable,but it is the way of foolishness.Help them instead to find the wonderand the marvel of an ordinary life.Show them the joy of tastingtomatoes, apples and pears.Show them how to crywhen pets and people die.Show them the infinite pleasurein the touch of a hand.And make the ordinary come alive for them.The extraordinary will take care of itself.”

“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”

“The start of any journey-whether pilgrimage or promenade-is one of life's true joys.”

“The true joy and wonder of life can only be yours if you follow your own intuition aiming to achieve your bliss.”
