Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

You change your life by changing your heart.

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
