Peace and Happiness

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels,
we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters

"Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happiness if that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayne Rand (1905-1982)

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller (1880-1968)

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo Rosten

Joy is prayer-Joy is strength-Joy is love-Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
