“Create all the happiness you are able to create: remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you to add something to the pleasure of others, or to diminish something of their pains. And for every grain of enjoyment you sow in the bosom of another, you shall find a harvest in your own bosom; while every sorrow which you pluck out from the thoughts and feelings of a fellow creature shall be replaced by beautiful peace and joy in the sanctuary of your soul.” SoulFeelingsAblePainBeautifulJoyPleasureSorrowCreaturesFellowsAddMiseryYour SoulEnjoymentRemoveGrainReplacedHarvestDiminishBosomsSanctuaryThoughts And FeelingsPluckPeace And Joy Author:Jeremy Bentham
“The paths by which people journey toward happiness lie in part through the world about them and in part through the experience of their souls. On the one hand, there is the happiness which comes from wealth, honor, the enjoyment of life, from health, culture, science, or art; and, on the other hand, there is the happiness which is to be found in a good conscience, in virtue, work, philanthropy, religion, devotion to great ideas and great deeds.” PeopleWorldArtIdeasSoulHandsLyingCultureFoundWealthVirtuePathJourneyHonorConscienceDeedsDevotionEnjoymentPhilanthropyGreat Idea Book:Happiness - Essays On The Meaning Of Life Source: Happiness - Essays On The Meaning Of Life
