Prudence keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

Those who drink to drown their sorrow should be told sorrow knows how to swim.

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts prosecution.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.

Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.
