The natural thing to do is to work-to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort. Human ills flow largely from attempting to escape from this natural course. I have no suggestion which goes beyond accepting in its fullest this principle of nature.

One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.

Love alone is the only reasonable activity or pursuit of humankind....For Love not only annihilates our fear of meaninglessness but empowers us to seek the happiness of others. And this indeed is our greatest happiness.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.

Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.
