QUOTES

The Greatest Discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his/her life by altering his/her attitude - William James

True happiness lies within you. Don't waste your time searching for the peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself - Og Mandino
