“The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.”

“Children are happy because they don’t have a file in their minds called ‘All the Things That Could Go Wrong.’”

“Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.”

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”
