It's a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.

Joy is strength.

Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.

Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome.

Relief from something that you cannot hold within you is always the greatest pleasure, isn’t it? Whatever that thing may be!

It's so freeing, it's beautiful in a way, to have a great failure, there's nowhere to go but up.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.

Courage is exhilarating.

There is nothing more liberating than having your worst fear realized.

One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

...happiness is not found in things you possess, but in what you have the courage to release...

Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

Relief is happiness for those who, otherwise, would have no happiness.
