Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.”
~ Robert G. Ingersoll ~
A true friend loves you for what you are and not what you ought to be. A true friend should always be cherished.
" The GOLDEN RULE of friendship is to listen to your friends as you would have them listen to you."
If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone these.
People take different roads seeking and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
Truth does not fear anybody and it tries not to hide itself. But being always true is practically humanly impossible as someone said, if you cannot tell the truth, don't hide the truth.
There is the type of compromise that allows us to accept other people's thoughts and ideas, and not put our own ideas higher than theirs, and there's the kind of compromise that lessens us as people when we do things that we know are wrong, simply for the sake of expediency or personal gain.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.
--Mahatma Gandhi
If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that can't buy.
When you delete the unnecessary people from your Life, good things will start happening for you and it won't be a coincidence .
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you will have meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
--Morrie Schwartz.
Mistakes have the power to turn you into something stronger than you were before if you're willing to learn from them and push ahead.
Even when you are "working very hard" at something, if you're coming from a place of joy and purpose then you are on the right track.
A true friend is one who sticks to you through thick or thin unconditionally. Someone you can always bank upon even in the times of adversities. They are often your best critics just for the sake of your own betterment. They don’t mind being right in your face and telling you where are you actually going wrong.
