To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
