Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any conditions. It defies environment. It comes from within: it is the revelation of the depths of the inner life as light and heat proclaim the sun which they radiate. Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying.
…Man is the creator of his own happiness; it is the aroma of a life lived in harmony with high ideas. For what a man has, he may be dependent on others; what he is, rests with him alone. Happiness is the soul's joy in the possession of the intangible. It is the warm glow of the heart at peace with itself."
