The most pleasing of all sounds, that of your own praise.
The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.
The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own.

Meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself.
The more you're in the state of flow, the more you'll develop skills, the more you'll achieve, and the more you'll feel good about yourself.
Changing the destructive things you say to yourself when you experience the setbacks that life deals all of us is the central skill of optimism.
Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.
