Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind

“Be careful not to mistake insecurity and inadequacy for humility! Humility has nothing to do with the insecure and inadequate! Just like arrogance has nothing to do with greatness!”

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
