“Joy is not in things, it is in us.”

Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Never leave till tomorrow that which you can do today.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Work as if you were to live a thousand years, play as if you were to die tomorrow.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Eat to live, don’t live to eat.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.

For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.

A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.

Those things that hurt, instruct.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

You may delay, but time will not.

There is no way to happiness – happiness is the way.

The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

He who is not happy with little will never be happy with much.

I do not need drugs to be a genius, do not take a genius to be human, but I need your smile to be happy.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.

Contentment makes poor men rich, Discontent makes rich men poor.

Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy.

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
