“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence”
Aristotle
“The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.”
Oscar Wilde
“It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.”
Anthony Robbins

Albert Einstein
“Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.”
C.S. Lewis

Benjamin Franklin
“You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events / how we interpret them / that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.”
“When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way. If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." the good thief said from his cross (Luke 23:42). There are perhaps no more human words in all of Scripture, no prayer we can pray so well. ”
Frederick Buechner
“Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
