The True happiness that Man has searched for since the dawn of humanity, that is the inner gold that awaits any person who holds compassionately the key of anonymous generosity. Do something for your fellow man, not for the gold, but for the love of Man, and you shall truly have the gold

Sigmund Freud
To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides. One of the fortunate aspects of this formula is that, granted the right career has been found, the hard work takes care of itself. Then hard work is not hard work at all.
Mark Sullivan

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied.
