PEOPLE

HAPPINESS

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
~Democritus

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
~Helen Keller

~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.
~Euripides

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to impart a quiet to the mind.

~Lucan

Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those that never happen.
~James Russel Lowell

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
~Harriet Tubman

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
~Pamela Vaull Starr

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
