The real sign of His blessings is if you can have more and more happiness inside. Learn always to be happy; to be happy with the happiness of God. Even- minded and cheerful. This is the fastest route to divine bliss.

The secret of success is doing things not merely because they are popular, but because you deeply believe in them.

To be happy, you must live in, but not for, the present moment.
