Happiness begins with love from others, but ends if you can't love yourself.

Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.

The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals Utility, or the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.

For we that live please must please to live.

The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Now is the accepted time.

Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it.

Rest, nature, books, music, such is my idea of happiness.

Happiness is a quality of the soul, not a function of one's material circumstances.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills.

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

And God said love your enemy and I obeyed him and loved myself.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

No human creature can give orders to love.

You cannot save people. You can only love them.

Accept things to which fate binds you, love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
