Real happiness is not dependent on external things. The pond is fed from within. The kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions. You must cultivate your mind if you wish to achieve enduring happiness.

PAINT THE WALLS OF your mind With many beautiful pictures.

My religious faith remains in possession of the field only after prolonged civil war with my naturally skeptical mind.

Marriage is a fine and sacred thing if you make it so.

The happiest people in this world are those who have the most interesting thoughts.

I find daily life not always joyous, but always interesting. I have some sad days and nights, but none that are dull. As I advance deeper into the vale of years, I live with constantly increasing gusto and excitement. I am sure it all means something; in the last analysis, I am an optimist because I believe in God. Those who have no faith are quite naturally pessimists and I do not blame them.

Never try to outsmart a woman, unless you are another woman.
