“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust

That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

“Satisfaction of one’s curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.” – Linus Pauling

“Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.” – Josh Billings

“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.”  — Henry David Thoreau

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
