“It must not be supposed that happiness will demand many or great possessions; for self-sufficiency does not depend on excessive abundance, nor does moral conduct, and it is possible to perform noble deeds even without being ruler of land and sea: one can do virtuous acts with quite moderate resources. This may be clearly observed in experience: private citizens do not seem to be less but more given to doing virtuous actions than princes and potentates. It is sufficient then if moderate resources are forthcoming; for a life of virtuous activity will be essentially a happy life.” IfsMayDoeSelfSeemsActionHappinessGivenCan DoMoralSeaLandDependsCitizensActivityDemandResourcesDeedsPossessionNobleSufficientAbundanceHappy LifeVirtuousRulersModeratesLife HappinessSelf SufficiencySufficiencyForthcomingLand And SeaNoble Deeds Author:Aristotle
“The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.” TryingPersonsSelfFeelingsSeemsHappinessSpiritBeliefEnergyDisciplineCarefulCreditSelfishFeel GoodGrantedGenerositySufficientUnhappinessSelflessMisguidedSelf SufficientHappy PersonCushions Author:Gretchen Rubin

“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer: no disease that love will not heal: no door that enough love will not open...It makes no difference how deep set the trouble: how hopeless the outlook: how muddled the tangle: how great the mistake.
