The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Feast, and your halls are crowded; fast, and the world goes by.
Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with.
Feasts are about abundance, and abundance is about sharing.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
