The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement -- but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

Joseph Conrad

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable.

Mark Hyman

I learned that people everywhere are basically the same and have similar goals that we do. They want health and happiness and the opportunity to provide for their families.
