The kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions.
William Lyon PhelpsAt a certain age some people's minds close up; they live on their intellectual fat.
William Lyon PhelpsI 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.
