Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.

And you will remember that love is not getting, but giving; not a wild dream of pleasure, and a madness of desire — oh no, love is not that — it is goodness, and honour, and peace, and pure living — yes, love is that; and it is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives longest.

Tact is the unsaid part of what you think.

Love is not getting, but giving. Not a wild dream of pleasure and madness of desire - oh, no - love is not that! It is goodness and honor and peace and pure living - yes, love is that and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives the longest.

I shall grow old, but never lose life's zest, because the road's last turn will be the best.

For real company and friendship, there is nothing outside the animal kingdom that is comparable to a river.

Be grateful for the tiny details of your life and make room for unexpected and beautiful blessings.
