On Happiness:

"Happiness doesn't depend nearly as much on our circumstances as it does on our relationships, our attitudes, and our beliefs. It comes not as much from what we have and acquire, but from what we accomplish in the way of attaining our goals."

"Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give."

"Taken along with our successes, failure can teach us what we are good at and what we are not, what we enjoy and what we hate. Once we know that, we can use those huge frontal lobes God gave us to better plan our lives."
