Blessing is the lifeblood throbbing through the universe.

The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart.

The hope that is left after all your hopes are gone - that is pure hope, rooted in the heart.

In moments of surprise we catch at least a glimpse of the joy to which gratefulness opens the door.

By looking up, by raising our eyes above our limited horizon, we are more likely to perceive the blessings hidden in affliction.

Through people that I did know or through things that I did touch, I am connected with everything that ever was and everything that ever will be. Everything hangs together with everything.
