It's very hard, for most of us to tolerate being loved.

Life ain't easy. Terrible things happen to everyone. You have to keep your sense of humor, give something of yourself to others, make friends who are younger than you, learn new things, and have fun.

The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.

It is not stress that kills us. It is effective adaptation to stress that allows us to live.

Happiness is only the cart; love is the horse

The seventy-five years and twenty million dollars expended on the Grant Study points to a straightforward five-word conclusion: Happiness is love. Full stop.

We can laugh from either joy or happiness, but we weep only from grief or joy...Without the pain of farewell, there is no joy in reunion...without the pain of captivity, we don't experience the joy of freedom.
