There are many things I do for amusement, but for happiness I like to gather up my memories and go for a walk in the rain.

There is no harder thing to give up than the thing that was supposed to make you happy.

One day you just say "To heck with it," and you go looking for trouble, and you find happiness.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, not forgetting to leave others be as you would have them leave you be.

Alexandros of Antioch took a block of marble and chiseled away from it everything that was not his masterpiece, the Venus de Milo. If you will chisel away one fault from your character every day, you may discover - a) that you're actually a statue of Margaret Thatcher. b) that you're still just a block of marble. c) that there are pigeon droppings on your shoes. d) that you, too, are a hidden masterpiece.

Whatever you put aside to seek happiness, remember where you put it.

A good marriage is each for the other and two against the world.
