| True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new. Antoine de Saint-Exupery The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity. You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness. Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

| Good quotes, Don. Reminds me of something I read today, I can't call it a quote because can't remember it verbatim. Someone went to Buddha and said he wanted happiness. Buddha said to take away the "I" and the "want", then all you have is happiness.
