Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. We are all just people, and we all have faults and shortcomings, but most of us are born with basic goodness. It is ours to bring to the world and share with others.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. William Morris

Our lives are less than 1000 months long and to make the best of it we need to form strong relationships and make the best of the gifts we have. A.C. Grayling

We can't just sit around waiting for things to happen to us. If we want happiness in our lives, we must get up and go for it. That isn't to say our fate is entirely in our own hands, it isn't. But we certainly won't get anywhere if we don't try.

Happiness is the only good, the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so. Robert G. Ingersoll
