Leo Tolstoy

Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experience.

George Santayana

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

Martin Luther

Wayne Dyer

Sympathy is never wasted except when you give it to yourself.

John W. Draper

Marilyn Monroe

Courteney Cox
