“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence”
Aristotle
“We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta

George Bernard Shaw

“There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts”
Voltaire
“Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.”
Anthony Robbins
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?”
Benjamin Franklin
