“The wise man is joyful, happy and calm, unshaken, he lives on a plane with the gods.”

“Joyful, joyful, joyful,
as only dogs know how to be happy
with only the autonomy
of their shameless spirit.”

“You’re the secret to change your life, you’re the key to your own happiness. It's not the happy people who are thankful, it’s the thankful people who are happy.”

“What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.”

“Happiness is a life filled with meaning, pleasure, and adventure.”
