Love, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness. If you have these in abundance, you will not be disturbed even by the most uncomfortable circumstances.

You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.

Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.

Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.
