• There's also something about your bed; it's sort of a symbol of yourself and of your marriage, if you're married. Making your bed doesn't seem to be an important thing in a happy life, and yet it can be that tiny foothold into a more orderly life that sometimes people need.

Or do you want to have a happy life with a successful marriage and 14 lovely grandchildren. The choices are out there.

• World' is a large term, but man must enlarge his allegiance, considering himself in the light of a world citizen... A person who truly feels: 'The world is my homeland; it is my America, my India, my Philippines, my England, my Africa,' will never lack scope for a useful and happy life. His natural local pride will know limitless expansion; he will be in touch with creative universal currents.

• Life is [perceived as] a series of problems: Either you are in one now,
  you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
  The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort.
  God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
  We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life.
  The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

  Rick Warren

• Everyone wants a happy life without difficulties or suffering. We create many of the problems we face. No one intentionally creates problems, but we tend to be slaves to powerful emotions like anger, hatred and attachment that are based on misconceived projections about people and things. We need to find ways of reducing these emotions by eliminating the ignorance that underlies them and applying opposing forces.
