Gandhi
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
In a happy marriage, it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.
He drew a circle that shut me out – Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win. We drew a circle and took him in.
Love’s a fire that needs renewal of fresh beauty for its fuel.
If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. That’s the lesson. That lesson alone, will save you a lot of grief. Even doubt means don’t.

People will rise to the big and dramatically good – they will yawn at the timid, the unconvincing.
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
It is also good to love, because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being, that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation.
