The source of a true smile is an awakened mind

Let us live happily, without hate amongst those who hate.

Let us dwell not hating amidst hateful men.

Let us live happily, in good health amongst those who are sick.

Let us dwell in good health amidst ailing men.

Let us live happily, without yearning for sensual pleasures amongst those who yearn for them. Let us dwell without yearning amidst those who yearn.

Dhammapada 197-200

*

Thou dost show me the path of life; in Thy presence there is fullness of joy, in Thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Bible, Psalm 16.11

*

Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days you create your hours, so you create your years, as you live your days, so you craft your life.

Robin Sharma

*
If in our daily lives we can smile,

if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we,

but everyone will profit from it.

The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

Thich Nhat Hanh
