Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

Pain from problems and disappointments, etc., is inevitable in life, but suffering is a choice determined by whether you choose to compare your experience and pain to something better and therefore feel unlucky and bitter or to something worse and therefore feel lucky and grateful!
