"The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life"

"There is more to life than increasing its speed"

"Great effort from great motives is the best definition of a happy life"

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly"

"It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice"

"There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action"

"The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations"

"You are the architect of your own destiny; you are the master of your own fate; you are behind the steering wheel of your own life. There are no limitations to what you can do, have, or be except the limitations you place on yourself by your own thinking"

"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little"
