Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.
