I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself... 
and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part. Shirley MacLaine

every home.  Man lives by faith and hope and love, by the star on the
horizon, by the trumpet that will not call retreat.  E. Merrill Root

What a man is contributes much more to his happiness than what he
has, or how he is regarded by others. Arthur Schopenhauer


Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows
with the ability to say no to oneself.  Abraham Joshua Heschel

Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly,
one-directionally, without regret or reservation.  William H. Sheldon

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize
they were the big things. Robert Brault

friend, and a nap undisturbed by creditors or grief.  Fernandez de Andrada
