“Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds”
“Discipleship is the pursuit of holiness and happiness. It is the path to our best and happiest self.”
“The best relationships in our lives are the best not because they have been the happiest ones, they are that way because they have stayed strong through the most tormentful of storms.”
“Every man looks out for himself, and he has the happiest life who manages to hoodwink himself best of all.”
“What is best about our lives -the moments when we are, as we would put it, at our happiest- is both pleasant and deeply unpleasant. Happiness is not a feeling; it is a way of being. If we focus on the feelings, we will miss the point.”
“That is the mysterious thing about tragedy- it often strikes at the happiest moment.”
