One good friend is better than a thousand acquaintances.

To achieve peace let go of: guilt, anger, and bitterness. To achieve happiness embrace: virtue, faith, and love.

Those who laugh with you when you laugh are acquaintances, those who cry with you when you cry are companions, and those who do both are friends.

Be happy when you work, thankful when you earn, cautious when you spend, shrewd when you save, and charitable when you give.

Love lost is better than hate found. True criticism is better than false praise. Genuine enemies are better than counterfeit friends.

Pleasure awakens the body, wisdom awakens the mind, joy awakens the heart, and love awakens the soul.

The greatest profit you make in business is not money, but happiness. The greatest riches you give in life are not possessions, but love. The greatest treasures you acquire in life are not jewels, but joy.

The less you want, the happier you are; the happier you are, the less you want.

If you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.
