God makes nothing without order, and everything that forms itself develops imperceptibly out of small parts.

Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another.

I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is in fact in nature.

Men act like brutes in so far as the sequences of their perceptions arise through the principle of memory only, like those empirical physicians who have mere practice without theory.

To love is to find pleasure in the happiness of others.

The art of discovering the causes of phenomena, or true hypotheses, is like the art of deciphering, in which an ingenious conjecture often greatly shortens the road.

You breathe, you love, you feel – and that’s enough to learn to see beauty in details. Is it not an art of living to create happiness where it does not exist?

Nothing can give you lifelong happiness & peace other than your family.

Wish everyone happiness and you yourself will be happy.

My eyes thread of happiness leads back to you.

Look how your happiness crushes all the critics around you.

Preserving your own happiness isn’t selfish.

I can dance to just about anything.

This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.
