For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness. —Andy Rooney More about this quote Tags: life happiness money work marriage food flowers breakfast nap Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

We knew we needed to be together more than we needed to be apart. —Wendell Berry More about this quote Tags: fear perspective pain marriage comfort Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
