“Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.”

For what I have received may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more truly for what I have not received.
I will always stay close to all compatriots, and share together the happiness and suffering.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
While I gave up God a long time ago, I never shook the habit of wanting to believe in something. So I replaced my creed of everlasting life with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
