Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the

world.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a
part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of
the encounter that is more important than the form.

Happiness

The pursuit of happiness is one adventure all of us have to endure in our lives. The sad part
is, majority of the people (as well as those who lived before us and those who'll outlive us)
would see a sad ending making the whole endeavor go to waste.
As long as people equate happiness with the size of one's savings accounts chances are it'll
remain a mystery to most of us. Knowing where your happiness lie is the first step in this
long journey.
While most of us could complete a book-long list of the things that could make us happy, the
folks we have below have made moving definitions of happiness using a few lines.
Take a look and may these quotes inspire you on your own pursuit.

door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

people becoming unhappy.

William Shakespeare (Merchant of Venice)

is.

the problems of the human race.
John Calvin Coolidge

* The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible.

round is never whipped.
James Corbett

gone before.
Jacob Riis

* The more you prepare, the luckier you appear.

Terry Josephson

stove lid again and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
Mark Twain
