Someone once wrote: "Happiness is always a by-product. You don't make yourself happy by chasing happiness. You make yourself happy by being a good person." The happiest people I know are people who don't even think about being happy. They just think about being good neighbors, good people. And then happiness sort of sneaks in the back window while they're busy doing good.
Rabbi Harold Kushner

'Tis the human touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand and mine, Which means far more to the fainting heart than shelter and bread and wine; For shelter is gone when the night is o'er, And bread lasts only a day,
But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice sing on in the soul alway.
Spencer Michael Free

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach

Living is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different; it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don’t understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Though you may travel the world to find the beautiful, you must have it within you or you will find it not.
Emerson

The time we most need to trust the journey is when it looks like we can't.
